individualizzata

Individualizzata is an Italian adjective and past participle form derived from the verb individualizzare. It is the feminine singular form used to modify feminine nouns and generally denotes something that has been tailored to or customized for an individual, addressing specific characteristics, needs, or conditions rather than a generic approach. The term is common in formal and professional registers.

Etymology and form: The word combines the base adjective individuale (from Latin individuum) with the verb-forming suffix -izzare, yielding a verb meaning to tailor or customize, and its feminine singular participle to describe a subject aligned with a particular person or case.

Usage and contexts: Individualizzata appears in domains such as medicine, education, social services, and law. Examples include cure or treatment plans described as "individualizzata," curricula or support systems labeled "istruzione individualizzata" or "piano individualizzato di apprendimento," and welfare provisions described as "assistenza individualizzata." The term often implies assessment and ongoing adjustment to fit the person involved.

Relation to synonyms: It overlaps with personalizzato and su misura, but tends to be preferred in more formal, clinical, or institutional contexts. Personalizzato is common in consumer or product contexts, while individualizzata emphasizes alignment with the individual’s unique features and needs.

Notes: The plural form is "individualizzate" and the masculine singular is "individualizzato." It can function as an attributive modifier (piano individualizzato) or, less commonly, in noun–adjective constructions depending on context.
