inserida

Inserida is the feminine past participle of the Portuguese verb inserir, used as an adjective or passive participle meaning "inserted" or "placed inside." It agrees with feminine nouns, for example: uma imagem inserida no texto or as linhas inseridas. The masculine form is inserido, used with masculine nouns. As a participle, inserida can also function in compound verbal constructions in some contexts, though it most commonly appears as an attributive or predicative descriptor.

Etymology and usage notes: inserida derives from Latin inserere, meaning to insert or place within. In Portuguese, the term is widely used in technical, administrative, editing, and data-processing contexts to indicate that an element has been added or embedded within another structure. For instance, fields, figures, or data entries described as inseridas have been incorporated into a larger document, form, or dataset. The word is relatively stable in meaning and does not typically appear outside of contexts involving insertion or embedding.

In other languages, equivalent terms exist: Spanish uses insertada or insertado depending on gender, while English generally uses inserted or embedded. In linguistic or editorial discussions, inserida may appear when describing a feminine noun that has been incorporated into a larger unit, such as a clause or a figure within a report. The related noun form is inserção, referring to the act of inserting or the result of insertion.
