incrementada

Incrementada is the feminine form of the Portuguese past participle of incrementar, meaning increased or augmented. It is used as an adjective and as a verbal participle to indicate that something has undergone an increment or growth, often with reference to a value, quantity, or feature.

Etymology: The verb incrementar comes from Latin incrementum (growth) and is formed in Portuguese with the root increment- plus the infinitive suffix -ar, with -ada producing the feminine participle form 'incrementada.' The masculine form is 'incrementado' and the noun 'incremento' denotes the increment itself.

Usage: In mathematics and statistics, incrementada can describe a quantity that has risen relative to a baseline, as in "a população incrementada em 12%." In computing and data processing, it may describe a state or value that has been increased, for example "valor incrementado" or "lista incrementada" when the noun is feminine.

Linguistic function: As a grammatical participle, incrementada behaves like an adjective, agreeing in gender and number with the noun it modifies, e.g., "medida incrementada" (feminine singular) or "medidas incrementadas" (feminine plural).
