trepado

Trepado is a term that appears in both Spanish and Portuguese as the past participle of the verb trepar, meaning to climb or to mount. As an adjective or passive participle, trepado indicates that something has been climbed, ascended, or trained to grow by climbing. The form agrees with gender and number in each language (trepado, trepada, trepados, trepadas in Spanish; trepado, trepad a, trepados, trepadas in Portuguese).

In Spanish usage, trepar covers activities such as climbing a wall, a hill, or a tree. Trepado can describe a completed action or a state resulting from climbing, and it often appears in descriptive or narrative contexts. For example, a "ruta trepada" refers to a climbing route, and "un muro trepado por plantas" conveys a wall that has climbing plants on it. In Portuguese, trepar similarly denotes climbing, and trepado can describe a person or object that has been mounted or that has grown with the aid of a support.

In horticulture, trepado is sometimes used to describe plants that are trained to grow on supports. The related term trepadeira refers to climbing plants, and other regional terms may be preferred to describe training methods for vines and shrubs.

There is no widely recognized independent concept or organization named trepado in English-language reference works. The word is best understood as a grammatical form of trepar, with regional usage varying by context.
