abgewickeltes

Abgewickeltes is a German attributive participial adjective derived from the verb abwickeln, which means to unwind, uncoil, or to remove material from a winding. The term denotes something that has been unwound or unrolled, typically from a spool, skein, or reel, and it is common in technical contexts such as textile production and wiring. Examples include abgewickeltes Garn, an unwound yarn, and abgewickeltes Kabel, a cable that has been drawn off a reel.

In grammar, abgewickeltes is the neuter singular form used with an indefinite article or with no article: ein abgewickeltes Garn or abgewickeltes Garn. When accompanied by a definite article, the attributive form is abgewickelte: das abgewickelte Garn. The plural form is abgewickelte Garne or abgewickelte Kabel, depending on the noun. The participle can also function predicatively in sentences such as Das Garn ist abgewickelt.

Etymology: abwickeln is formed from the prefix ab- (off, away) and wickeln (to wind or coil); abgewickeltes literally means unwound material. The word appears in German-language technical documentation, catalogs, and manuals.
