Usage Note

Agravado is the past participle of agravar ('to aggravate, to worsen'), used as an adjective. It appears frequently in legal contexts — robo agravado ('aggravated robbery') — and in medical contexts: su condición se vio agravada ('his condition was worsened'). Do not confuse with agraviado ('wronged, offended'), which comes from agraviar and carries a different meaning.
