Ohutuslike

Ohutuslike is an Estonian-language term used to describe safety-related characteristics, practices, or considerations. It is sometimes employed in technical writing or policy discussions to emphasize that safety is a salient feature of a system, product, or process. Because it is not a standard dictionary entry, its exact sense depends on context and audience.

Etymology and form: The word appears to be a compound built from ohutus, meaning safety, combined with a suffix that conveys resemblance or belonging to a category. In practice, writers may form it as a single compound or with a hyphen, depending on style guidelines. It is more common in informal or semi-technical registers than in formal legal or regulatory language.

Usage examples: Ohutuslike omadused (safety-like characteristics), ohutuslike meetmed (safety-like measures), or ohutuslike lahendused (safety-like solutions) illustrate how the term can modify objects or plans to highlight safety as a priority.

Limitations: Because it is not widely standardized, the meaning may vary with context. Some writers may prefer established terms such as turvalisus-related phrases, or ohutusalane to describe safety-related domains. The word’s acceptability and exact nuance can differ between technical communities and general discourse.
