miracolosa

Miracolosa is the feminine singular form of the Italian adjective miracoloso, used to describe something that is miraculous or extraordinary. As an adjective, miracolosa agrees with a feminine noun, as in una guarigione miracolosa or un evento miracoloso for masculine nouns. The word expresses the sense of a phenomenon that is beyond ordinary explanation, often invoking divine or supernatural intervention, but it can also be used colloquially to emphasize remarkable quality.

Etymology: The term derives from Latin miraculosus, from miraculum “miracle.”

Usage: In religious contexts, miracles attributed to saints or holy figures may be described as miracolose; in secular language, it can describe extraordinary, surprising outcomes, products, or performances.

Relation to other languages: Italian has cognates in other Romance languages; Spanish milagroso, French miraculeux, Portuguese milagroso, among others.

Notes: The form miracolosa specifically modifies feminine nouns, with masculine forms such as miracoloso and feminine plurals like miracolose. The broader concept of a miracle remains central to the term, and miracolosa is commonly used across literature, folklore, media, and everyday speech to convey that something defies ordinary explanation or expectations.
