riformata

Riformata is the feminine singular form of the past participle of the Italian verb riformare (to reform). It functions as an adjective describing something that has been reformed, revised, or rebuilt. It agrees with the noun it modifies: riformata (feminine singular), riformate (feminine plural), riformati (masculine plural).

In use, riformata appears in sentences that denote completion of reform. Examples include una legge riformata (a reformed law) or una società riformata (a reformed society). In compound tenses, the participle often occurs in passive constructions such as la legge è stata riformata (the law has been reformed).

In religious or historical contexts, riformata may appear as part of phrases that translate “Reformed” in denominational names or titles, such as chiesa riformata, though the exact form and capitalization depend on tradition and language conventions.

Etymology: riformata derives from the verb riformare, which in turn comes from Latin reformare, formed by the prefix re- (again, back) and formare (to form).

Notes: The form is strictly feminine and varies with gender and number to agree with the noun it describes. The masculine counterpart is riformato, and the feminine plural is riformate.
