Hovedsett

Hovedsett is a term sometimes used in Scandinavian languages, particularly Norwegian, to refer to a main set or a primary collection of something. It can apply to a variety of contexts, such as a set of tools, a collection of books, or a group of components that form a fundamental unit. The word itself is a compound of "hoved," meaning head or main, and "sett," meaning set.

In a practical sense, a hovedsett implies the most important or essential part of a larger whole. For instance, a mechanic might have a hovedsett of wrenches that they use most frequently, with other specialized tools being secondary. Similarly, in a software development context, a hovedsett of libraries might refer to the core dependencies required for a project to function. The concept emphasizes prioritization and the identification of fundamental elements. The specific meaning of hovedsett will always depend on the surrounding context in which it is used.
