Herberekend

Herberekend is a Dutch adjective and past participle meaning recalculated or recomputed. It is used to describe numbers, estimates, or results that have been recalculated after new data, corrections, or methodological changes.

Etymology: The term is formed from the verb berekenen (to calculate) with the prefix her- meaning again or anew. The complete verb is herberekenen; the past participle is herberekend, which can be used in passive voice or as an adjective.

Usage: It can appear in sentences such as “De cijfers zijn herberekend” (The figures have been recalculated) or “een herberekende uitkomst” (a recalculated result). As an attributive adjective it can modify nouns: “herberekende kosten” (recalculated costs). The word can also function in nominalized form as a past-tense descriptor in formal reporting.

Contexts: Common in finance, statistics, auditing, tax assessments, scientific research, and elections when data corrections or updated models require recalculation of results. It is often contrasted with berekend, which refers to calculations not adjusted after initial calculation. The noun form herberekening refers to the act or result of recalculation.
