Applicering

Applicering is a noun used in several Scandinavian languages, notably Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish, to denote the act of applying, implementing, or deploying something. It encompasses the practical use of ideas, methods, substances, or policies and is common in technical and scholarly writing. Etymologically, it derives from Latin applicare and entered the Nordic languages through historical development; modern forms include applicering, applikering, or applikation, depending on language and context.

In technical and industrial contexts, applicering refers to the processes by which a material, chemical, coating, or treatment is laid onto a surface or integrated into a system. Examples include surface preparation, the application of coatings or adhesives, and subsequent curing or processing steps, as well as the application of a test method or standard in an experiment. The term also covers the deployment of a technology or procedure in practice, such as applying a theoretical model to a real-world problem.

In medicine and pharmacology, applicering may denote the administration or topical application of a drug. In research, it often means translating findings into practical use. The word is related to, but distinct from, terms such as anvendelse (use), implementering (implementation), and applikation (often used for software contexts).
