Rasitussanasta

Rasitussanasta is a Finnish phrase that appears in linguistic and dictionary usage as the elative form of a hypothetical compound noun rasitussana, formed from rasitus (load, exertion, stress) and sana (word). The literal reading is "from the word rasitus" and it is used to indicate the origin or source of a term in glosses or explanations. Because rasitussana is not a standard dictionary entry, rasitussanasta typically functions as an instructional example illustrating Finnish inflection rather than as a widely recognized lexical item.

In practice, it can appear in sentences such as "Rasitussanasta johdettu termi" (a term derived from the word rasitus) or "Rasitussanasta muotoitu sana" (a word formed from rasitus). The concept demonstrates how Finnish word formation can identify source words with the elative case. In linguistic discussions, rasitussanasta is referenced only as a grammatical example rather than as a named category.
