reunido

Reunido is the Spanish past participle and adjective derived from the verb reunir, meaning to gather, assemble, or unite. Used as an adjective, it describes a state resulting from bringing people or things together. Its masculine singular form is reunido, feminine singular reunida, and the plural forms are reunidos and reunidas. In translation, it is commonly rendered as “reunited” or “assembled,” depending on the context.

Etymology and form: Reunido comes from Latin reunire (to unite again), via the Spanish verb reunir. As a participle, it shares the same root as related nouns such as reunión (meeting or gathering) and reunificación (reunification). The form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it accompanies.

Usage notes: Reunido is frequently used to describe people or bodies that have gathered for a purpose. Examples include "Los asistentes quedaron reunidos en la sala" (The attendees were gathered in the room) and "El comité está reunido para discutir el presupuesto" (The committee is gathered to discuss the budget). It can also appear in formal or official contexts, such as minutes or judicial-like language, where a group is described as reunido.

Distinctions and related terms: While synonyms like congregado emphasize a formal or sizable assembly, reunido focuses more on the resulting state of being gathered. Related nouns include reunión (the act of gathering) and reunificación (the process of becoming united again). Reunido should not be confused with reunificar, the verb meaning to reunify, or with reunión as the noun for a gathering.
