Uitredelijk

Uitredelijk is a term that does not appear in standard Dutch dictionaries. It is not recognized as correct Dutch and is generally considered a misspelling, a nonce word, or a regional/colloquial form. Most usages occur in informal writing where the writer intended one of two standard words, redelijk (reasonable) or onredelijk (unreasonable).

Etymology and interpretation: If used, it would appear to be a blend of the prefix uit- with redelijk. Dutch morphology does not routinely form meaningful compounds in this way, so there is no accepted meaning. Some readers might interpret it as an attempt to intensify redelijk or as a mistaken form of onredelijk, but such interpretations are speculative and not standardized.

Usage guidance: In formal or widely read Dutch, uitredelijk should be avoided. Use redelijk or onredelijk according to the intended meaning. If you encounter the word, consider asking for clarification from the writer or correcting to a standard term to ensure clear communication.
