molidos

Molidos is a Spanish term that functions primarily as the masculine plural adjective form of molido, meaning ground or milled. It is used to describe substances that have been processed by grinding, milling, or pulverizing, such as grains, coffee, or spices. In everyday language, you will commonly see phrases like granos molidos (ground grains), café molido (ground coffee), or harina molida (ground flour). The form molidos agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

Etymology and forms: Molidos derives from the verb moler (to mill, grind) and the participial suffix -ido. The related feminine form is molida, and the plural neuter form mirrors the masculine plural when referring to masculine nouns.

Usage notes: Molidos appears across culinary, industrial, and scientific contexts to denote material that has been ground. It does not by itself specify a particular product; the exact meaning is given by the noun it accompanies (for example, café molido, harina molida, granos molidos).

Geographic or naming considerations: There is no widely recognized place or organization consistently known simply as “Molidos.” The term may appear as part of compound place names, product labels, or as a surname in Spanish-speaking regions, but such uses are uncommon and context-dependent.
