Unausgewogener

Unausgewogener is the masculine singular attributive form of the German adjective unausgewogen, meaning not well balanced or uneven. It is used to describe a masculine noun in contexts where balance, proportionality, or uniformity is lacking. The form appears with indefinite articles or other non-definite determiners, for example ein unausgewogener Plan or ein unausgewogener Zustand, and adjusts according to the grammatical case and determiner.

Etymology and meaning: The word is built from unausgewogen, which itself is formed from un- (negation) and ausgewogen (well balanced), the latter derived from wiegen (to weigh) in a figurative sense of weighing or balancing. The ending -er reflects standard German adjective declension for masculine singular nouns under certain determiners.

Usage and context: Unausgewogener is most common in descriptive writing about distributions, plans, or assessments that show imbalance. Typical contexts include time schedules, resource distributions, or data sets described as not evenly balanced. For feminine or neuter nouns, different endings are used (for example unausgewogene Verteilung for a feminine noun or unausgewogenes Ergebnis for a neuter noun). The term is often interchangeable with closer synonyms such as unausgeglichen or unbalanciert, depending on tone and field.

Examples:

- Ein unausgewogener Zeitplan kann zu Verzögerungen führen.

- Der Plan war ein unausgewogener Entwurf, der noch angepasst werden musste.

See also: unausgewogen, unausgeglichen, unbalanciert. In German, the choice among these forms depends on gender, article, and grammatical case of the noun they describe.
