Schemalagd

Schemalagd is a Swedish adjective meaning scheduled or timed according to a timetable. It describes activities, events, or resources that have been assigned a fixed time within a plan. The term is commonly used in education, work, health care, and logistics to indicate that something has been placed on a schedule rather than being informal or spontaneous.

Etymology: The word derives from the noun schema (schema) through the verb schemalägga, meaning “to schedule.” The past participle form schemalagd describes a noun that has been subjected to scheduling. Related terms include schemaläggning (the act of scheduling) and schema, which refers to a timetable or plan.

Usage and grammar: Schemalagd agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. For example: schemalagt möte (neuter singular), schemalagda möten (plural). In compounds and set phrases, it often functions as a compound attribute before nouns, similar to English “time-fixed” or “on a schedule.”

Examples: Schemalagda lektioner means scheduled lessons, and schemalagda arbetspass means scheduled shifts. The term is used across sectors to emphasize plan adherence and predictability in timing.
