Gerötete

Gerötete is a German adjective meaning reddened or flushed. It is derived from the verb "röten," which means to redden or to make something red. The term is commonly used in medical contexts to describe skin that has become red due to inflammation, irritation, or increased blood flow. For example, a doctor might describe a rash as "gerötete Haut" (reddened skin).

Beyond medical applications, "gerötete" can also describe a blush that appears on the face due to embarrassment or excitement. In a more general sense, it can refer to anything that has taken on a reddish hue. This could include objects, landscapes, or even abstract concepts like a "gerötete Wangen" (reddened cheeks) after a cold wind. The past participle form "gerötet" is often used interchangeably with "gerötete" when referring to a state of being reddened. The adjective is gender-neutral in its base form but will inflect to agree with the noun it modifies in terms of case, gender, and number according to German grammar rules.
