ingresadas

Ingresadas is the feminine plural form of the past participle ingresado, derived from the verb ingresar. It functions as an adjective or as a noun phrase referring to women who have been admitted or entered into a place, system, or process. The term comes from the Latin ingressus, related to entrar and to move into a space or institution.

In common use, the word appears in contexts where someone is admitted or enrolled. In the medical field, las ingresadas denotes female patients who have been admitted to a hospital, clinic, or care facility; el conjunto de ingresadas and los ingresados distinguish female patients from male patients. For example, “Las ingresadas requieren observación” means the women admitted require monitoring.

In educational or administrative contexts, ingresar can mean to enroll or be admitted to a program, school, or service. There, las ingresadas would refer to women who have been admitted or enrolled in that program or institution, though more common expressions include las admitidas or las personas ingresadas, depending on regional usage.

Grammatical notes: ingresar is a transitive verb, and ingresado is its past participle. Ingresadas agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies (feminine plural). As a nominal phrase, it can function as a subject or object in a sentence.
