Generalizzato is the past participle of generalizzare used as an adjective, meaning broadly extended or widespread — un aumento generalizzato dei prezzi (a generalised rise in prices). It often appears in political, economic, or medical discourse. It should not be confused with generale (general/general officer); generalizzato specifically implies something that has spread or been extended across a wide range.
