organizados

Organizados is the plural form of the adjective organizado, used in Spanish and Portuguese to describe people, groups, plans, or systems that have structure, order, or coordinated activity. As a participle, organizado comes from the verb organizar (Spanish) or organizar (Portuguese), both of which derive from roots related to structure and arrangement.

In Spanish, organizado agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: un equipo organizado, dos equipos organizados, una persona organizada, personas organizadas. It can also function as a noun phrase in some contexts, for example when journalists refer to “los Organizados” to indicate groups that are organized, sometimes with capitalization to signal a specific group.

In Portuguese, the forms mirror Spanish: organizado (masculine singular), organizados (masculine plural), organizada (feminine singular), organizadas (feminine plural). Examples include “grupos organizados,” “pessoas organizadas,” and “uma equipe organizada.”

Usage notes: organizado is commonly used across domains such as business, education, sports, government, and media to emphasize efficiency, coordination, or systematic planning. Its antonym is desorganizado (disorganized). The term often appears in expressions like grupo organizado, sistema organizado, or força organizada, highlighting order and structure.

See also: organização, organização, organizado, desorganizado. Etymology traces the term to the verb organizar/organizar, whose sense of arranging elements into a coherent whole underpins its widespread use to describe orderly, well-coordinated entities.
