Afzendenverzenden

Afzendenverzenden is a Dutch term that appears primarily in technical literature to describe the act of forwarding a transmission to one or more additional recipients after an initial sending. The word is a compound of afzenden and verzenden, highlighting a sequential forwarding operation rather than a single send.

Etymologically, afzenden denotes the emission or broadcast of a signal or message from a source, while verzenden emphasizes delivering a message to recipients. In practice, afzendenverzenden describes a situation in which a transmission is relayed or forwarded through one or more intermediate steps, common in network, telecommunication, or email workflows.

The term is not widespread in everyday Dutch and is not commonly found in general dictionaries. It tends to occur in specialized manuals, protocol specifications, and corporate documentation where precise descriptions of chaining transmissions are needed. In standard language, speakers are more likely to use doorsturen or doorgestuurd, which convey the idea of forwarding or redirecting a message.

Examples of usage can be found in technical contexts: for instance, a network gateway may perform afzendenverzenden of an received message to multiple endpoints, or a broadcasting system might perform sequential forwarding as part of a relay chain. The concept emphasizes the order and repetition of sending actions rather than a single delivery.
