Etymology and form: The verb klicka is a loanword from English click, associated with the introduction of graphical user interfaces in the late 20th century.

It can also appear in adjective-like positions in informal writing to indicate that something has been activated or selected, though this usage is less common.

Computing and media use: In software localization, documentation, and analytics, klickat is commonly paired with references to actions completed by users. The related noun klick describes a single click, and the term is widely understood across Swedish-speaking audiences.
