resumida

Resumida is a feminine Portuguese adjective meaning "summarized" or "condensed." It is the feminine form of the past participle resumido, derived from the verb resumir, which means to summarize or to make a summary. The term is used to describe content that has been shortened or condensed.

As with most adjectives in Portuguese, resumida agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: a versão resumida (feminine singular); as versões resumidas (feminine plural); o relatório resumido (masculine singular). It can be used attributively (o texto resumido) or predicatively (o texto está resumido). It is commonly paired with the noun resumo, though resumir can also be used on its own in some constructions.

In practical use, resumida appears in contexts such as academic papers, news briefs, or executive summaries, where a shorter form is presented for quick reading: "uma versão resumida do estudo" or "a biografia resumida de um autor." The expression "em resumo" is often used to signal a brief synthesis.

Etymology: resumida comes from the verb resumir, which in turn derives from the Latin resumere, formed by re- + sumere (to take up again). The related noun resumo denotes a summary or abstract, and the concepts share the same thematic origin of condensation or brief presentation.
