Uitgestorte

Uitgestorte is a Dutch adjective derived from the verb uitstorten, meaning to pour out, dump, or discharge. The term describes something that has been emptied or released in large quantities. It can refer to liquids or loose materials, but it can also be used figuratively to indicate a sudden or extensive release of something, such as information or emotions.

In everyday language, uitgestorte is commonly used with nouns denoting a quantity or deposit, for example a uitgestorte lading (a dumped load) or een uitgestorte hoeveelheid olie (an spilled quantity of oil). It is often found in news reports, industrial contexts, and descriptive writing to emphasize that content has been released or spilled rather than contained.

Etymology and grammar: uit- is a prefix indicating outward movement or separation, and storten means to pour, dump, or deposit. The form uitgestorte is the attributive adjective used with a noun and agrees in number and gender (e.g., een uitgestorte lading; meerdere uitgestorte ladingen).

See also: uitstorten, storting, en instorten. While uitstorten focuses on the act of pouring out, uitgestorte describes the result of that action, i.e., the content that has been discharged.
