Loputusest

Loputusest is an Estonian grammatical form: the elative case of the noun loputus, which means rinsing or flushing. In Estonian, the elative case is indicated by the suffix -st and is used to express origin or source, roughly translating to “from” in English. The form loputusest joins the stem loputus to indicate something that comes from the rinsing process. It is primarily encountered in technical, medical, or descriptive texts where relations such as cause or source need to be specified.

Usage and meaning: Loputusest denotes origin or source related to rinsing. It is used when describing results, effects, or conditions that stem from a rinsing action. For example, the phrase loputusest tulenev mõju can be translated as “the effect arising from rinsing,” and loputusest põhjustatud kõrvaltoimed as “side effects caused by the rinse.” The construction mirrors other elative forms used to attribute a cause or source to a noun.

Etymology and formation: The base noun loputus (rinsing, flushing) combines with the elative suffix -st to form loputusest. This pattern reflects Estonian noun morphology, where the elative case is used to indicate movement from or origin of a process, action, or condition.

Notes: Loputusest is a case form rather than a standalone lexical entry; its meaning and function are tied to the elative case and the concept of rinsing as a source or cause in context.
