Slutstorlekens

Slutstorlekens is a form derived from the Swedish noun slutstorlek, meaning “the final size,” with the genitive suffix -ens. The combination is not widely attested as a standard term in everyday Swedish, and its use tends to appear in technical or industrial texts where final dimensions are discussed.

Etymology and form: Slutstorlek consists of slut-, a prefix related to end or final, and storlek, meaning size. The possessive/genitive form -ens is added to create slutstorlekens, indicating “the final size’s” something in a phrase such as slutstorlekens mått (the final size’s measurements). In many contexts, writers may instead use slutstorleken (the final size) or rephrase with a construction that avoids the genitive.

Usage: The term is most likely to appear in contexts dealing with post-processing dimensions, such as clothing production, packaging, or technical drawings where final specifications matter. Because slutstorlekens is not common in standard Swedish, many writers would opt for clearer or more conventional phrasing. When used, it generally introduces a noun phrase describing a property or dimension associated with the final size.

Examples: Slutstorlekens avvägning kan påverka passformen i en kollektion. I tillverkningsdokumentationen syftar detta på måtten som gäller efter slutbearbetning. Note that more common alternatives in Swedish would be slutstorleken or slutstorlekens mått.
