minimizada

Minimizada is the feminine form of the past participle of minimizar in Spanish and Portuguese, used as an adjective to indicate that something has been reduced or minimized. It describes objects, values, or processes that have undergone minimization, reduction in size, scope, or complexity.

In everyday language, minimizada is used with feminine nouns. In Spanish, examples include una ventana minimizada (minimized window) or una versión minimizada (minimized version).

In technical contexts, minimizada often refers to results of minimization processes.
