Skruvad

Skruvad is a Swedish adjective derived from the verb skruva, meaning that something has been fastened with screws. It is mainly used in technical contexts such as mechanical engineering, carpentry, and construction to indicate that a component, cover, or joint has been secured using screws rather than other fastening methods.

Formation and usage: The term is formed by adding a participial suffix to skruva and functions as an ordinary adjective that can modify a noun or appear predicatively in a sentence. In practice, writers use skruvad to describe assemblies, panels, lids, brackets, and other parts where screws are the fastening method. It emphasizes the method of attachment rather than the overall design.

Relation to other terms: The related noun skruv means screw, and the verb skruva means to screw. The phrase fäst med skruvar, meaning “fastened with screws,” is common in descriptive or instructional language. The term skruvad is a straightforward, neutral descriptor and does not, by itself, imply quality or performance.

Context and usage: Skruvad appears in product specifications, assembly instructions, maintenance notes, and quality checks. It helps technicians and engineers communicate efficiently about how parts are joined. In everyday language, more general phrases such as “fastened with screws” are also used, but skruvad remains a concise technical descriptor.
