occultata

Occultata is a Latin term derived from occultatus, meaning hidden or concealed. In Latin grammar, occultata is typically the feminine plural form of the participle or can function as a feminine plural substantive, translating roughly to “the hidden things” or “the concealed matters.” Because of its morphological flexibility, occultata appears in a variety of medieval, Renaissance, and scholarly Latin phrases rather than as a standalone modern term.

Usage and context. The word commonly surfaces in discussions of concealed knowledge, secret writings, or occult phenomena within Latin texts. In this sense, occultata can denote things that are not openly known or that require interpretation to reveal their meaning. It is also encountered in the broader English-language study of occultism when Latin phrases containing occultata are quoted or analyzed. Outside of scholarly or philological contexts, the form is not widely used in contemporary English.

Relation to related terms. Occultata is related to occultus (hidden, secret), occultare (to hide), and the broader category of occultism, which concerns hidden or esoteric knowledge. The feminine plural form occulta is another common Latin variant used in similar contexts.
