Verzögerter

verzögerter is a German adjective meaning delayed or postponed. It is derived from the past participle of the verb verzögern, which means to delay or postpone. The word can be used in a variety of contexts, referring to events, processes, or actions that are not happening at their intended or expected time.

For example, a verzögerterZug refers to a delayed train. A verzögerteReaktion would be a delayed reaction. In finance, a verzögerterZahlungseingang means a delayed payment receipt. The term is also used in technical contexts, such as a verzögerterStart, which indicates a delayed start. The adjective implies that something is happening later than planned or scheduled. It does not necessarily imply a negative connotation, but rather a simple statement of fact about the timing of an event or process. The opposite of verzögert could be pünktlich (punctual) or sofort (immediate). The concept of delay is universal, and verzögert is the specific German term used to describe it.
