It is the third-person plural preterite indicative form of the verb "voltar," which means to return or to come back. This verb conjugation is used to describe an action that was completed in the past by a group of people or things. For example, "Os viajantes voltaram para casa" means "The travelers returned home." The preterite tense is used for actions that have a definite beginning and end in the past. Therefore, "voltaram" specifically indicates that the act of returning has concluded.

It is a common and essential verb form in the Portuguese language.
