Endurskilgreint

Endurskilgreint is an Icelandic adjective meaning redefined or reinterpreted. It is the past participle of the verb endurskilgreina, which combines endur- (again, re-) with skilgreina (to define). The term is used to describe concepts, terms, or definitions that have been revised or clarified after consideration or new information. In academic, legal, or policy contexts, statements such as endurskilgreint hugtak indicate that the understanding of the term has changed from its previous form.

Usage is typically attributive or predicative, for example endurskilgreint gildi (a redefined value). It can appear in reports, articles, or glossaries when describing revised definitions, classifications, or models. It is useful for signaling that an earlier definition has been updated rather than simply supplemented.

Examples include: Í nýrri útgáfu er hugtakið endurskilgreint. Rannsóknin endurskilgreindi þröngt gildissvið verkefnisins. These sentences illustrate how endurskilgreint conveys revision of meaning or scope.

Related terms include endurskilgreining (a redefinition) and skilgreining (definition). The concept is common in linguistic, scholarly, and regulatory discourse where precision and clarity of terms are important.
