Vollziehend

Vollziehend is a German word that functions as a present participle of the verb "vollziehen." The verb "vollziehen" means to carry out, to execute, to perform, or to bring about. Therefore, "vollziehend" describes an action that is currently in progress, something that is being done or executed. It is often used in legal and administrative contexts to refer to the ongoing implementation or execution of a law, regulation, contract, or decision.

For example, one might say "die vollziehende Gewalt" which translates to "the executive power." In this context, "vollziehende" describes the power that is actively carrying out or implementing laws, as opposed to legislative or judicial powers. Similarly, a sentence like "Die Verordnung wird derzeit vollziehend umgesetzt" means "The regulation is currently being implemented." Here, "vollziehend" emphasizes the active, ongoing nature of the implementation process.

The word conveys a sense of active participation and completion, indicating that a process is not merely planned or decided upon, but is actively in the process of being carried out. It is a precise term used to denote the functional aspect of an entity or action that is performing its designated role or task.
