Herziene

Herziene is a Dutch adjective meaning revised. It is used to describe a version, edition, or document that has undergone revision. The term is commonly found in publishing and documentation, for instance in phrases such as de herziene editie or de herziene uitgave. In such constructions the adjective precedes the noun and carries the -e ending after definite determiners, aligning with Dutch adjective inflection rules.

Herziene derives from the verb herzien, meaning to revise. The prefix her- indicates repetition or correction, and the rootzien is related to seeing or inspecting. The past participle herzien serves as the basis for the attributive adjective herziene, which inflects for the noun it modifies, producing forms such as herziene editie or herziene versie.

In practice, herziene is primarily a publishing and formal-language term used to indicate that content has been updated from a previous version. It is most commonly employed with concrete nouns such as editie, druk, versie, or tekst. The form is not typically used as a standalone noun; rather, it functions within a compound nominal phrase to signal an updated or corrected state of the referenced work.
