resignada

Resignada is the feminine past participle and adjective form of the Spanish verb resignar. It describes someone or something that has resigned or that has accepted a situation with resignation. It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, and it is commonly used to convey a mood or attitude rather than the formal act of resignation.

In contemporary usage, resignada appears in phrases that depict an emotional state or a degree of acquiescence. Examples include sentences such as “Ella se mostró resignada ante la noticia” or “La respuesta fue resignada.” It can function as a predicative or attributive adjective, as in “una decisión resignada” or “un empleo resignado.” The term is more often about the demeanor accompanying a resignation or a difficult outcome than about the act itself.

Related forms include resignar (to resign), resignarse (to resign oneself), and resignación (resignation). The masculine form is resignado; the feminine form is resignada. Although resignada can be used as a descriptive label, it is less common to treat it as a standalone noun; more typical are phrases that refer to the act of resigning (la renuncia) or to a person described as resigned (la persona resignada).
