Korekcijas

Korekcijas is a Latvian term that denotes corrections, adjustments, or amendments made to something to bring it closer to a desired standard or truth. The word is used across many fields and contexts, often in relation to changes intended to improve accuracy, functionality, or appearance.

In language, editing, or publishing, korekcijas refer to corrections of text, such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typography. In education and assessment, it can denote the process of revising or correcting answers or assignments to reflect accurate information.

In health and medicine, korekcija describes procedures or interventions aimed at restoring function or normality. Examples include ortodontiskā korekcija (zobiem, bite alignment), redzes korekcija (vision correction through glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery such as LASIK or PRK), and cosmetic or reconstructive corrections to restore form or appearance.

In science, statistics, and data handling, korekcijas are adjustments applied to measurements or models to account for biases, errors, or changing conditions. In finance and economics, the term can appear in reference to price corrections or policy adjustments designed to align markets with fundamental values or objectives.

Etymologically, korekcija derives from the Latin correctio via European languages, adopted into Latvian with the plural form korekcijas. The term is widely used as a neutral, umbrella concept for a range of deliberate modifications across disciplines.
