justificats

Justificats is a term used in Catalan-language contexts. Grammatically, it is the masculine plural form of the past participle of the verb justificar and functions as an adjective meaning justified, warranted, or excused. In administrative and legal language, justificats can refer to items that have been substantiated or to sets of documents that provide justification for a claim or action. The related noun form justificant denotes a document or piece of evidence that provides such justification.

In practical use, justificats appear in discussions of budgeting, human resources, education, and law, where individuals or organizations must produce documentation to prove eligibility, compliance, or validity. The term thus helps distinguish between claims that are supported by evidence and those that are not.

Etymology traces to the Latin iustificare, meaning to make just or to justify. In related Romance languages, cognates include Spanish justificados and Portuguese justificados, but usage and inflection differ.
