Avklämd

Avklämd is a Swedish adjective used to describe something that has been pressed or squeezed away from its surroundings, or that has been pinched or wedged between objects. The form is built from av- ('off', away) and klämd, the past participle of klämma ('to squeeze'). In physical contexts it can refer to objects that have been damaged or displaced by squeezing, such as a finger or cable that has been avklämd. In medical or accident reporting one might encounter phrases like en avklämd tå or en avklämd finger, indicating a crush or pinching injury. In figurative usage avklämd can describe a person, group, or element that feels squeezed out or marginalised in a situation, for example 'hon känner sig avklämd i arbetsgruppen' (she feels left out in the work group). The term is relatively neutral and primarily descriptive; it is common in general language but not tied to a specific technical field. Related forms include 'klämd' (squeezed) as a standalone adjective.
