inspiradas

Inspiradas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective or past participle inspirado, meaning “inspired.” It is used to describe feminine plural nouns or to refer to groups of feminine subjects that possess or have been touched by inspiration. As an adjective, it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, as in obras inspiradas (inspired works) or ideas inspiradas (inspired ideas).

Etymology and grammar

The word comes from the verb inspirar, from Latin inspirare, “to breathe into.” In Spanish, the suffix -ada forms adjectives and participles related to a root action, so inspiradas conveys the sense of having inspiration applied to multiple feminine nouns. It can function before or after the noun, depending on emphasis, and is commonly used in both literary and everyday language.

Context and usage

In ordinary prose, inspiradas highlights that something is inspired or inspired by a source. Examples include obras inspiradas, canciones inspiradas, or personas inspiradas. The form is also seen in titles or headings, where capitalized variants (Inspiradas) may appear to denote a work or collection, especially in Spanish-language media. However, there is no single canonical work or concept universally identified by the name.
