iscritta

Iscritta is the feminine singular past participle of the Italian verb iscrivere, meaning to register or enroll. When used as an adjective, iscritta describes someone or something that has completed an official registration. The corresponding forms are iscritto (masculine singular), iscritti (masculine plural), and iscritte (feminine plural). As a noun, l’iscritta can refer to a female registrant or member of an organization, while l’iscritto refers to a male registrant.

Usage and context often involve education, professional bodies, clubs, or administrative registries. For example, a student can be described as iscritta all’università, meaning she is enrolled at the university; a professional practitioner can be described as iscritta a specific albo or registro, indicating formal registration with that body. The term emphasizes status rather than action, indicating that the registration process has been completed.

In Italian, the form must agree with the gender and number of the noun it modifies. Iscritta thus functions both as an adjective and as a noun in everyday language, reflecting the registrant’s membership or enrollment status within a given institution or system.

Etymology and related terms: iscritta derives from iscrivere, itself from Latin inscribere, “to inscribe.” Related terms include iscrizione (the act or result of registering) and iscritto (the masculine counterpart of iscritta). The concept is central to formal enrollment in education, professional associations, and official registries.
