Apdoroti

Apdoroti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to process, treat, or refine something, turning raw materials or information into a usable form. It is used across sectors—from manufacturing and chemistry to data handling and information technology—to describe a sequence of operations that alters inputs to produce outputs.

In Lithuanian, related forms include apdorojimas (processing) and apdorotas (processed). The term can apply to physical treatment of materials (for example, apdoroti žaliavas, to process raw materials) as well as to data processing (apdoroti duomenis). The prefix ap- communicates a sense of completion or thorough handling, and the concept appears frequently in technical and scientific writing.

Usage notes and examples: in industry and science, apdoroti appears in descriptions of workflows, quality-control procedures, and methodological steps. In information technology and data science, it commonly refers to cleaning, transforming, and organizing data before analysis, often discussed as data apdorojimas or duomenų apdorojimas. The term is also encountered in broader contexts when detailing how inputs are converted into finished products or results.

Apdorojimas as a general concept contrasts with related terms for more specialized processing, such as perdirbti (to reprocess) or apdailos etapai (finishing steps), depending on the field.
