izada

Izada is a term found in Spanish that functions as the feminine past participle of the verb izar, meaning hoisted or raised. It is commonly used to describe a flag, banner, or other object that has been raised or displayed, as in la bandera izada.

Beyond its use as a participial form, izada appears as the feminine ending in adjectives formed from verbs ending in -izar. In this sense, -izada marks gender agreement and indicates a completed action or resulting state. The corresponding masculine form ends in -izado, for example realizado vs realizada, organizado vs organizada, industrializado vs industrializada.

Examples illustrate the sense: realizada means "carried out" or "completed" in feminine form, organizada means "organized" (feminine), and industrializada means "industrialized" (feminine). The masculine counterparts are realizado, organizado, industrializado. These forms are used to describe nouns and must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.

In usage, izada is typically encountered in descriptive prose, official reports, or ceremonial contexts. It is usually not capitalized unless beginning a sentence or part of a proper noun. The related verbs izar and izamiento refer to the act of hoisting (the process of raising a banner or flag) and the noun form for that process, izamiento, is frequently used in nautical or ceremonial language.
