transferida

Transferida is a term used in Romance languages, most commonly Spanish and Portuguese, as the feminine singular form of the past participle of the verb transferir, meaning to transfer. As such, transferida denotes that a feminine noun has been transferred, moved, or reassigned. It functions as an adjective or as part of compound tenses when there is gender agreement with the noun it modifies.

In Portuguese, examples include phrases such as a pessoa transferida (the transferred person) or as contas transferidas (the transferred accounts). In Spanish, similar usage appears in la cuenta transferida (the transferred account) or las tarjetas transferidas (the transferred cards). The form reflects the general Romance-language rule that past participles agree in gender and number with the noun they describe or with which they form certain tenses.

Etymology traces transferida to the verb transferir, which itself comes from Latin transferre, meaning to carry across. The feminine participle suffix -ida arises from Romance-language patterns for forming and agreeing adjectives and participles.

Beyond its ordinary grammatical use, transferida can also appear as a proper noun in fictional works, brand names, or other context-specific titles, though such uses are less common and highly context-dependent. In English-language references, the term is typically encountered only in discussions of Portuguese or Spanish grammar or in translated texts. See also transferir, transferencia, and related forms.
