revisada

Revisada is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the Spanish verb revisar, meaning that something has been reviewed or revised. As an adjective, revisada agrees with feminine nouns (for masculine nouns the form is revisado).

Usage and scope. Revisada is commonly used in editing, quality control, legal and administrative contexts, and in publishing to indicate that a document, report, or standard has undergone examination and modification. Examples include la versión revisada del informe (the revised version of the report) and las normas revisadas (the revised standards). The corresponding masculine form is revisado, and the plural forms are revisadas and revisados.

Etymology. The term arises from revisar, which combines the prefix re- (again, back) with a root linked to examining or inspecting. This reflects the sense of examining something anew or making corrections after review.

Notes on usage. In everyday Spanish, revisada often appears before a noun as a descriptor, or after the verb ser in passive constructions, such as “El documento fue revisado” or “La versión revisada está disponible.” While revisada primarily functions as an adjective, its form helps ensure agreement with feminine nouns, complementing the related noun revisión (the act of reviewing or revision).

Related terms include revisar (to review), revisión (review or revision), and revisado/revisada (revised). The concept is widely understood across Spanish-speaking regions, with similar usage in editorial, administrative, and contractual contexts.
