Redaguoti

Redaguoti is a Lithuanian verb meaning to edit, revise, or prepare for publication. It is used to describe the action of modifying the content of texts, documents, articles, or other written materials in order to improve clarity, accuracy, and style. The sense can extend to editing data, notes, or program documentation, and in broader terms to refining content before release.

In everyday language redaguoti typically implies purposeful revision rather than mere correction; the related noun redagavimas denotes the editing process, and redaktorius refers to an editor who performs such work. The verb is widely used across journalism, publishing, academia, and information technology, where texts or digital content are prepared for dissemination.

Etymology and related forms: The Lithuanian term is generally treated as a native or long-established loanword in the field of editing, with cognates in other Baltic and Slavic languages. It is commonly linked to the concept of drafting or compiling content for publication, and is connected to terms such as redagavimas (editing) and redaktorius (editor).

Usage notes: Redaguoti requires a direct object, typically a text or document (for example, tekstas, straipsnis, ataskaita). It is used in present and past tenses to describe ongoing or completed editing actions. In specialized contexts, it may also appear in discussions of software localization, website content management, or multimedia editing, where content is refined before final release.
