Vaurioituneelta is a Finnish grammatical form used to describe the origin or source of something that is damaged. It is the elative singular form of the participial adjective vaurioitunut, which means damaged or damaged-looking. The word appears mainly in formal or technical contexts such as repair reports, safety notes, or investigative documentation.

In grammar, vaurioitunut is formed from the verb vaurioitua (to become damaged).

- In everyday language, speakers may prefer alternative constructions such as vaurioitunut laite (a damaged device) or laitteelta/komponentilta as the source, depending on register and clarity.

Etymology and form:

- The base is vaurio (damage) plus the past participle suffix -itunut, yielding vaurioitunut (damaged). The elative form vaurioituneelta follows Finnish inflection rules for adjectives in the elative case.
