People & Society Community

Origin: Past participle of excluir, from Latin 'excludere' (to shut out).

Also means

marginalized

Usage Note

Excluido functions as the past participle of excluir and as a standalone adjective. In social policy, los excluidos (those excluded) refers to marginalized populations shut out from social or economic participation — exclusión social is a major policy concept in the EU. It is written without an accent: the older spelling excluído was dropped when the RAE ruled that ui counts as a diphthong for accentuation.

Examples

"Los excluidos del sistema no tienen acceso a esos recursos."

Natural Translation

Those excluded from the system have no access to those resources.
