introduït

Introduït is the past participle of the Catalan verb introduir, meaning to introduce. In Catalan, introduït serves as both a past participle and an adjective, and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. The masculine singular form is introduït, the feminine singular is introduïda, the masculine plural is introduïts, and the feminine plural is introduïdes.

As a participle, introduït is used to form compound tenses with the auxiliary haver, as in ha introduït meaning "has introduced." It can also appear in passive constructions formed with ser or estic/estar, for example, La mesura ha estat introduïda meaning "the measure has been introduced." When used as an adjective, it describes something that has already been introduced or inserted, such as un concepte introduït per l’autor (a concept introduced by the author).

Etymology traces introduït to the Catalan verb introduir, which comes from Latin introducere, itself from in- (into) and ducere (to lead). The form mirrors the common Romance verb pattern for past participles derived from introducere.
