Borðaður

Borðaður is a term that can refer to several things, primarily in the context of food and consumption. In its most common usage, it is the past participle of the Icelandic verb "borða," meaning "to eat." Therefore, "borðaður" can be translated as "eaten." For example, "Maturinn er borðaður" would mean "The food is eaten."

The word can also be used more broadly to describe something that has been consumed or has undergone the process of eating. This can extend to animals or objects that have been gnawed upon or devoured. The specific nuance depends heavily on the context in which it is used. For instance, if a mouse has eaten a piece of cheese, one might say "osturinn er borðaður af músinni," meaning "the cheese is eaten by the mouse."

In certain figurative senses, "borðaður" can imply being worn out or used up, similar to how something is "eaten away" by time or use, although this is a less common application of the word. The primary and most direct meaning, however, remains tied to the act of consuming food.
