Triggerudslag

Triggerudslag is a Norwegian term used to describe the immediate manifestation or response that follows a triggering event in a system, organism, or process. The word combines English trigger with Norwegian udslag (outcome, manifestation) and is used in various domains to indicate a causal link where a specific trigger leads to a detectable effect.

Medically or biologically, triggerudslag refers to an acute event precipitated by a trigger. Examples include a seizure provoked by flashing light, sympathetic stress precipitating tachycardia, or an allergic reaction following exposure to an allergen. In psychiatry and psychology, it denotes emotional or behavioral reactions triggered by cues or memories. In geology and earth science, it can describe a mass movement such as a landslide or avalanche induced by external forcing like rainfall or shaking.

In technology and informatics, triggerudslag can describe moments when system state changes in response to an event, such as a database trigger firing or an automation rule executing.

Because it is not a formal diagnostic term in itself, triggerudslag is typically used descriptively with context to indicate causality or temporal sequence, rather than asserting a proven causal relationship. See also trigger, udslag, causality, and event-driven concepts.
