Oppført

Oppført is a Norwegian term that functions as a past participle and an adjective derived from the verb oppføre, meaning to erect, construct, or to bring into existence. The primary usage describes physical structures and indicates that something has been built or completed. For example, a house described as oppført in a certain year means the house was erected in that year.

In addition to construction, oppført can appear in contexts where something is listed or entered into a formal record or registry. In such uses, it conveys that an item, building, or other subject has been formally recorded or documented. The related noun oppføring refers to the act of erecting or to an entry in a list or register, depending on the context.

Etymology traces oppført to the prefix opp- meaning up or upward and the root føire/føre, broadly connected to carrying or bringing forth. The combination connotes bringing a construction into existence or placing something into an official record.

Common domains for oppført include architecture, real estate, and cultural heritage documentation. It is widely used in descriptive text about buildings, bridges, monuments, and other constructed objects, as well as in inventories and registers that track when and what has been erected or listed. In practical writing, oppført is typically paired with a date or a registry reference to indicate when a construction occurred or when an item was added to a formal list.
