Avsnöras

Avsnöras is a Swedish verb in the passive form meaning to become cut off or isolated from a connected part of a system, network, or area. It describes a situation where a link, supply, route, or communication is interrupted or disconnected, often due to external factors such as weather, accidents, or technical faults.

The term is used across contexts involving infrastructure, logistics, meteorology, and media reporting. It can refer to roads and transport networks being blocked, power grids or water supplies losing connection, or telecommunications networks experiencing disruption. In reporting and planning, avsnöras is employed to describe the result of an event rather than the cause, emphasizing the state of isolation or disconnection.

Grammatical notes: avsnöras is the present passive form of the verb avsnöra (to cut off, to disconnect). It is commonly used in both journalistic and technical prose to convey that a system or area is currently separated from the rest.

Examples:

- Vägen avsnörs från omvärlden efter snöovädret.

- Området avsnördes från elnätet när huvudledningen sprängdes.

- Kommunikationsnätet avsnöras under stormen.
