defendant
Usage Note
Convenuto functions as an adjective meaning 'agreed upon' (al prezzo convenuto, at the agreed price) and, crucially in legal Italian, as a noun meaning the defendant in a civil suit — the party summoned (convenuto in giudizio). Learners of legal Italian must recognise both uses; in everyday speech the adjective sense is more common.
Examples
"Il pagamento avverrà al termine convenuto."
Natural Translation
