Nachgebessert

Nachgebessert is the past participle of the German verb nachbessern. The prefix nach- indicates that the improvement or correction is performed after an initial version or assessment, rather than being part of the original release. Accordingly, nachgebessert describes something that has been refined later or corrected following feedback, examination, or new information.

As a participle, nachgebessert can function both as a finite verb form (Ich habe den Bericht nachgebessert) and as an adjective (eine nachgebesserte Fassung). In attributive use, it becomes an adjective form such as eine nachgebesserte Version, indicating that the item has undergone post-release improvements. In predicative usage, it is used with auxiliary verbs to describe completed revisions (Die Veröffentlichung ist nachgebessert worden).

Common contexts for nachgebessert are product revisions, edited texts, and policy or regulatory updates, where initial versions are subsequently refined in response to criticism, defects, or new data. Related nouns include Nachbesserung, the act or process of making such improvements, and Nachbesserungen, the plural. Synonyms range from überarbeitet (revised) to korrigiert (corrected) or angepasst (adjusted), though nachgebessert often carries the sense of post-release or post-critique refinement.

Examples:

- Die Fehler im Bericht wurden nachgebessert.

- Die nachgebesserte Fassung enthält zusätzliche Details.

- Das Angebot wurde nachgebessert, um den Anforderungen besser zu entsprechen.
