Versandt

Versandt is a German term that functions as the past participle of the verb versenden, meaning to dispatch or ship. It is used to indicate that an item or shipment has been sent to a recipient. In standard usage, versandt appears in predicate position with a form of the auxiliary verb, for example: Die Bestellung ist versandt worden. It can also occur as an attributive participle, describing a noun, such as die versandte Ware, meaning the goods that have already been sent.

In practical terms, versandt is common in logistics, e-commerce, and business communication to report the status of orders and shipments. The word can convey that dispatch has occurred without specifying the exact time, and it is often contrasted with terms like versandbereit (ready for shipment) or versandanmachend (in the process of being shipped).

Etymology and related forms: versandt derives from versenden, the prefix ver- combined with senden (to send). This construction is typical in German for forming perfective or distributive senses. Related words include the noun Versand (shipping, dispatch) and the participles versendet and versandend, which may appear in similar contexts with slightly different stylistic nuances.
