raggruppata

Raggruppata is the feminine singular participle of the Italian verb raggruppare, meaning to bring together or gather into a group. In ordinary use it functions as an adjective to describe something that has been assembled or organized into a group, such as a raggruppata lista or raggruppata serie di dati. In some technical or descriptive contexts it can also appear as a nominal reference to a set or collection that has been formed, though this use is less common in everyday language.

Etymology and form: raggruppata derives from raggruppare, which combines the prefix ri- (often signaling repetition or bringing back) with gruppo (group). The participle agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: raggruppato (masculine singular), raggruppata (feminine singular), raggruppati (masculine plural), raggruppate (feminine plural).

Usages and contexts: The term is widely applicable in contexts dealing with data organization, reporting, or description of grouped entities. Examples include “osservazioni raggruppate per categoria” (observations grouped by category) or “ campioni raggruppati” (grouped samples). In scientific writing, raggruppata may appear in discussions of data sets, experimental results, or classifications where items have been sorted into groups. It remains a standard, neutral descriptor rather than a specialized technical term in most everyday Italian.

See also: raggruppare, raggruppamento, gruppo, aggregare.

Note: As with other participles, agreement follows the noun it describes. The form raggruppata is used for feminine singular nouns.
