terminados

Terminados is the masculine plural form of the Spanish adjective terminar, and it also functions as the past participle of the verb terminar. The word means finished, completed, or concluded. It is used to describe objects that have reached the end of a process or development, and it can refer to things in a completed state as opposed to raw or in-progress items. The feminine plural form is terminadas, and the singular forms are terminado (masculine) and terminada (feminine).

In grammar, terminado is the past participle of terminar and forms compound tenses with the auxiliary haber, as in he terminado, has terminado, or había terminado. When used as an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number: un informe terminado, unos informes terminados, una obra terminada, unas obras terminadas.

In manufacturing and logistics, terminados is commonly used as a noun phrase to denote finished goods or completed products, as opposed to raw materials (materias primas) or in-process items. In inventories, production reports, and quality control, terms like “stock de terminados” or “productos terminados” indicate items that are ready for sale, shipment, or distribution.

Etymology-wise, terminados derives from terminar, which originates from Latin terminare, meaning to end or boundary. The term is widely understood in Spanish-speaking contexts to indicate a completed state or the final stage of a process.
