Lagning

Lagning is a noun in Swedish that denotes the act of repairing, mending, or patching something that is damaged or malfunctioning. The term derives from the verb laga, meaning to fix or mend, and is used across domains to indicate returning a thing to proper working condition. While lagning most commonly refers to repairs of physical objects, it is also used for software patches and other remedial work that restores function rather than creates something new.

In everyday usage, lagning can refer to car repairs, home repairs, or mending clothing. It can also describe repair work on infrastructure such as pipes or buildings. In technical or engineering contexts, lagning encompasses diagnostic assessment, replacement of faulty components, and testing to verify that the issue is resolved. In software development, the term is sometimes used to describe bug fixes or patches that restore intended behavior.

Etymology is straightforward: lagning comes from the verb laga, with the nominal suffix -ning forming the noun for the act of making or fixing.
