Verifierade

Verifierade is the past participle form of the Swedish verb verifiera, meaning verified or confirmed. It functions as an adjective or as part of a verb phrase and describes something that has undergone verification, checking, or validation. In Swedish, the form verifierade agrees with the noun it modifies: for example, en verifierad uppgift (a verified piece of information) and verifierade uppgifter (verified pieces of information).

Etymology and usage context: verifiera is a derivative of the Latin verus, meaning true, and has entered Swedish through the influence of French or English, following the common linguistic pathways for the term verify. The adjective verifierad (singular) or verifierade (plural) is widely used across domains to signal authenticity or accuracy. In journalism, science, data management, and everyday language, verifications are described as verifications of sources, data, documents, or identities. For example, a verifierad källa or verifierad data indicate that a check has been performed and the item is considered trustworthy to a stated level.

Limitations and nuance: while verifierade denotes that an item has passed a verification step, it does not guarantee absolute truth or infallibility. Verification procedures vary by context and organization, and ongoing review or re-verification may occur as new information emerges. See also verifiera, verification, and verified identity.
