Dikontrol

Dikontrol is a word in Indonesian and Malay languages, formed by the prefix di- attached to the loanword kontrol, from English control. It functions as a passive verb form meaning "is controlled" or "has been controlled," and is used in formal or technical contexts to indicate that something is under regulation or management by an agent that may be omitted.

Etymology: The term derives from the loanword kontrol and the passive prefix di-. This derivation mirrors other Indonesian passive constructions, where the agent performing the action is often omitted. The result is a participial form that describes a controlled state.

Usage: In everyday Indonesian, dikontrol appears in contexts such as security, data management, and process control. Examples include "Sistem keamanan telah dikontrol" and "Akses data dikontrol ketat." When an agent is specified, phrases like "oleh pihak berwenang" can be used; more explicit agency is often expressed with "dikendalikan" rather than "dikontrol," though both are understood.

In computing, governance, and regulatory language, dikontrol is used to express constraint, monitoring, and compliance, such as "level akses dikontrol" or "risiko dikontrol." The nuance is that dikontrol emphasizes the state of being controlled, rather than the action of controlling.
