trasmessa

Trasmessa is the feminine singular past participle of the verb trasmettere in Italian. It is used as an adjective or in passive constructions to indicate that something has been transmitted or broadcast. The masculine form is trasmesso, and the plural forms are trasmessi (masc) and trasmesse (fem). The word derives from Latin transmettere, from trans- “across” and mittere “to send.”

In usage, trasmessa commonly appears to describe things that have been sent or broadcast. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies, for example: una notizia trasmessa (a transmitted/broadcast news item) or una malattia trasmessa (a transmitted disease). In a passive sentence, it is part of the compound with essere: La notizia è stata trasmessa.

Trasmessa is related to trasmettere (the verb), trasmissione (the act or process of broadcasting or transmitting), and trasmittente (transmitting or transmitting device, especially in technical contexts). While trasmissione often denotes the event or medium of broadcasting, trasmessa emphasizes that the information or signal has already been sent or broadcast.

Usage notes: since Italian uses agreement for participles in passive or adjectival use, trasmessa must match the gender and number of the noun it describes. It can appear in formal or technical writing, as well as in everyday language when noting that a message, program, or signal has been conveyed.
