trainata

Trainata is the feminine singular past participle of the Italian verb trainare, and it is used as an adjective meaning drawn, pulled, or hauled. It describes a load, vehicle, or animal that is being towed or drawn by another agent, such as a horse, mule, or tractor. The masculine singular form is trainato; the feminine plural trainate; the masculine plural trainati.

The verb trainare itself comes from Latin trahere, meaning “to pull.” Trainata preserves the sense of motion created by drawing something along behind a carrier or motive force. In historical and rural contexts, the term appears in descriptions of wagons, carriages, or implements that are moved by traction.

Usage examples include: la carrozza trainata da cavalli bianchi; un carretto trainato da un mulo; l’attrezzatura agricola trainata da trattore. In modern Italian, trainata retains a somewhat literary or descriptive flavor and is less common in everyday language, where alternatives such as tirata or tirare might be used depending on the exact sense.
