trascienden

Trascienden is the third person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb trascender. Transcender means to go beyond a limit or boundary, to surpass, or to acquire significance beyond its immediate context. The word derives from Latin transcendere, formed by trans- “across” and scandere “to climb,” and entered Spanish as trascender.

In usage, trascender is often intransitive, describing something that goes beyond what is expected or known; it can be used transitively in certain constructions, such as trascender una frontera or trascender los límites, though the core meaning remains “to go beyond.” The form trascienden appears in sentences like “Las ideas trascienden las fronteras” or “Estas obras trascienden su época,” expressing lasting relevance or broad impact. Contexts include science, culture, politics, and philosophy.

In lexicography, trascienden is listed as a conjugated form of trascender, whose meanings include surpassing, exceeding, and enduring in memory or influence. The term is common in academic and literary Spanish and is often used to describe phenomena whose implications extend beyond a local or immediate frame.
