Nuorod

Nuorod is a term drawn from Lithuanian vocabulary associated with pointing or directing. In standard Lithuanian, the noun nuoroda denotes a reference or a hyperlink. Nuorod is not commonly listed as an independent headword in dictionaries; instead, it appears as the stem in related forms and compounds. In everyday usage, nuoroda is the preferred word for a link or citation.

In information technology and web publishing, nuoroda corresponds to what English speakers call a hyperlink. Lithuanian documentation often describes HTML links as nuorodos or nuoroda; a typical instruction is Spustelėkite nuorodą, which means “Click the link.” Another common term for hyperlink in Lithuanian is hipersaitas, a loanword from English.

The concept of nuoroda extends beyond web pages to bibliographic references and navigational structures in information systems. It covers both on-page references, such as citations in text, and navigational connections between resources in digital environments. Clear and accessible nuorodos are considered important for user experience, data linking, and the flow of information within a site or application.
