indotte

Indotte is the feminine plural form of the Italian past participle indotto, from the verb indurre, meaning to induce, to cause, or to lead into. In Italian, indotto has gendered and numbered forms: indotto (masc. sing.), indotta (fem. sing.), indotti (masc. plur.), and indotte (fem. plur.). Indotte is used to describe nouns that are feminine and plural.

As an adjective or past participle, indotte denotes something that has been induced or caused by a preceding factor. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For example, conseguenze indotte (feminine plural: induced consequences), misure indotte (feminine plural: induced measures), or for the feminine singular it would be corrente indotta (induced current).

Common usage spans several fields. In physics and engineering, phrases such as corrente indotta (induced current), campo indotto (induced field), or forze indotte (induced forces) are typical. In economics and social sciences, one may encounter spesa indotta (induced spending) or domanda indotta (induced demand). In biology or medicine, difese indotte (induced defenses) or immunità indotta (induced immunity) illustrate the same agreement pattern.

Grammatically, indotte functions as a standard Italian participial adjective. It can appear before or after the noun it modifies, depending on emphasis, but it must agree in feminine plural form with the noun. The related forms—indotto, indotta, indotti, and indotte—are part of a regular pattern for past participles used adjectivally in Italian.
