recriados

Recriados is the plural form of the adjective or past participle "recriado" in Portuguese, meaning "recreated," "rebuilt," or "made again." It is used to describe items, environments, or individuals that have undergone a process of recreation or revival. As a participle, "recriado" is formed from the prefix "re-" attached to the verb "criar" (to create). The word is more typically seen as an adjective or as part of a passive construction rather than as a stand-alone noun.

In practice, "recriados" appears in diverse contexts, including museology and archaeology to refer to replicas of artifacts; in literature, film, or theater to describe revived or reimagined characters or scenes; and in computing or data management to denote environments or datasets that have been regenerated from existing sources. The related noun "recriação" designates the act of recreating; "recriados" would then refer to the objects or persons characterized by that act.

Usage notes: The term is neutral in tone and usually unmarked for gender when used as a participle, though agreement with feminine or masculine nouns follows standard grammar. It is not a common everyday noun; more often one uses "recriação" for the act or "reproduções" or "réplicas" for their products.
