Administrert

Administrert is the past participle of the Norwegian verb administrative form “administrere,” meaning to administer, manage, or direct. The term is used in multiple contexts, especially in medicine and administration. In medical language, it describes that a dose or treatment has been given to a patient, for example: “Dosen ble administrert intravenøst.” In organizational or public administration, it can describe actions that have been managed or carried out, for instance: “Prosjektet ble administrert av kommunen.”

Etymology and usage notes: Administrere comes from the Latin administrare, through Danish and Norwegian usage, into modern Norwegian. The form administrert functions as an adjective or a compound verb form when paired with auxiliary verbs, such as “har administrert” (have administered) or “ble administrert” (was administered).

Grammar and forms: In Bokmål and Nynorsk, administrere is conjugated as administrerer (present), administrerte (past), and administrert (past participle). The participle behaves like an adjective as well, e.g., “en administrert dose” or in passive constructions such as “dosen ble administrert.” It is common in medical records, prescriptions, and formal reports to see administrert used to indicate completed administration or management of an action.

See also: administrasjon, administrere, administrator, administrativ. The term is closely related to forms that describe governance, oversight, or dispensing of substances, depending on the context.
