Gezuigde

Gezuigde is a Dutch term formed from the verb zuigen, meaning to suck, draw in, or vacuum. It functions as a past participle used as an attributive adjective, describing something that has been subjected to suction or drawn in by a suction device. In technical and industrial language, gezuigde often appears in phrases referring to air, liquids, or other materials drawn by suction, for example gezuigde lucht or gezuigde vloeistof.

Etymology and usage notes: The form gezuigde arises from the verb zuigen with the prefix ge- and functions to indicate prior action by suction. In sentences it describes a state produced by suction and is commonly found in contexts such as ventilation, suction systems, medical or laboratory procedures, and other processes involving removal or transfer of fluids or gases. The exact spelling and agreement can vary with surrounding nouns and style, and in everyday language speakers may prefer the simple passive construction (het is gezuigd) or alternative phrasing.

Context and examples: The term is more common in technical documentation and industry-specific writing than in casual speech. Examples include references to a gezuigde luchtstroming (air flow drawn in by suction) or to gezuigde vloeistof in a reservoir. Because it denotes a condition resulting from suction, gezuigde is typically paired with nouns that describe the material or medium affected by the suction process.
