Aðlöguð

Aðlöguð is an Icelandic adjective meaning “adapted” or “tailored,” formed from the verb aðlaga, to adapt. It describes something that has been adjusted to fit new conditions, requirements, or contexts. The term is used across domains such as technology, policy, design, and media to indicate modification from a prior state.

Grammar and forms: In Icelandic, adjectives decline to agree with the gender and number of the noun they describe. The past participle stem of aðlaga yields forms such as aðlagaður (masculine), aðlögð (feminine), and aðlagað (neuter). The form aðlöguð is one of the inflected forms that can appear in certain contexts; the more common feminine singular is aðlögð and the neuter singular is aðlagað. The exact usage depends on the syntactic position and definiteness of the noun.

Usage notes: The word emphasizes the result of the adaptation rather than the process, indicating that something has already been modified to suit a purpose or environment. It is appropriate in formal and technical writing as well as in general prose, and may appear in phrases describing modified products, procedures, or texts.
