Gjennomfallende

Gjennomfallende is a Norwegian term that describes a comprehensive or pervasive quality. It can be used in various contexts to denote something that extends through, affects, or is present in its entirety. For instance, a diagnosis might be described as gjennomfallende if it impacts all aspects of a person's life or a particular system. In a more abstract sense, it can refer to an idea or principle that is universally applied or understood within a given framework.

The word is derived from the verb "gjennomfalle," which literally means "to fall through." This etymology suggests a sense of penetration or complete coverage. When something is genomfallende, it is not superficial or partial; rather, it deeply affects or permeates the subject at hand. The term emphasizes the extent and depth of an influence or characteristic.

For example, one might speak of a genomfallende positiv endring, indicating a transformation that has positively affected all areas concerned. Similarly, a genomfallende kritikk would be one that addresses every significant flaw or aspect of a subject. The concept underscores a thoroughness and lack of exceptions. It signifies a complete and undivided presence or impact.
