Unlike the participial nouns in V-ada (llamar → llamada), these nouns are formed from noun bases:

• estoque → estocada
• cuchara → cucharada

The suffix can express:

a blow made with the object or body part named by the base: patada, puñalada;
an amount contained in something: cucharada, camionada;
a group, event, or collective action: cacerolada, muchachada;
an action considered typical of someone or something: payasada, canallada.

Note: These denominal formations are distinct from nouns containing the participial suffix -ada.
