Usage Note

Inventado is the past participle of inventar used as an adjective, meaning fabricated or fictitious. It frequently describes stories, excuses, or characters — una historia inventada ('a made-up story'). Do not confuse with descubierto ('discovered'), which denotes finding something real; inventado always implies something created from nothing.
