Usage Note

Fechado is the past participle of fechar used as an adjective, meaning 'bearing a (stated) date' or simply 'dated'. It commonly appears in archival, legal, and journalistic contexts: una carta fechada en 1945 (a letter dated 1945). It is not a synonym of anticuado (outdated/old-fashioned); fechado purely describes that a document carries a date, not that its content is obsolete.

Examples

"El manuscrito fechado en 1623 es el más antiguo."

Natural Translation

The manuscript dated 1623 is the oldest.
