Bringend

Bringend is a Dutch word that functions as the present participle and verbal adjective of the verb brengen, meaning to bring. It is used to describe something that brings about a result, yields an effect, or produces a given outcome. In modern Dutch, bringend occurs mainly in formal or technical writing and in literary contexts.

As a modifier, it can appear in attributive position before a noun or in predicative position after a linking verb. Common collocations include bringende factor and bringende werking, which English renders as contributing factor or producing/bringing effect.

Etymology: from the verb brengen, with the -end suffix that forms present-participle adjectives. The form functions similarly to other Dutch participles, signaling ongoing action or resulting effect, and it is distinguished from the past forms by its meaning and usage.

Translations: in English, bringend is typically rendered as "bringing" or "producing" depending on context. In technical writing, "contributing factor" or "yielding effect" are common equivalents.
