Arendusjärgust

Arendusjärgust is a rarely attested term in Estonian that may appear in informal or internal project documentation to denote a stage or rung in a development process. It is not a standard term in contemporary dictionaries or language corpora.

Etymology and form: The word blends arendus (development) with a second element that suggests a position within a sequence. In Estonian compounding, meanings like level, stage, or step can be conveyed in various ways, and the precise morphological parsing of arendusjärgust is not universally fixed. Different authors may interpret it differently.

Meaning: In practice, arendusjärgust is used to refer to a particular phase within a project, such as initial development, mid-stage refinement, or final implementation. It can be roughly equated with terms like arendusfaas or arendusetapp, but those terms are more established and widely understood.

Usage and reception: Because it is not a standard term, its use may cause ambiguity for readers outside the issuing organization. If encountered, it is advisable to clarify what is meant by “järgust” in that context and how it relates to other project stages.
