Reiknað

Reiknað is the Icelandic past participle of the verb reikna, meaning to calculate. As an adjective, it denotes that something has been computed or derived through calculation. In technical and scientific writing, reiknað is commonly used to describe results, values, or quantities that result from computational processes rather than being given directly.

Etymology: Derived from reikna plus the past participle form, it reflects the passive sense of having had calculation performed. In Icelandic, past participles of verbs function as adjectives and agree with the noun they modify in gender and number, so forms may vary in ordinary usage.

Usage: Reiknað appears in mathematics, statistics, finance, engineering, and data science, where computed figures or estimates are described as reiknað. It often occurs in phrases indicating the result of a calculation or modeling, such as computed values, forecasts, or costs.

Note: The word is distinct from the verb form reikna, which means to calculate; reiknað indicates the calculation has already occurred.
