angesammelte

Angesammelte is a German attributive adjective meaning "collected" or "assembled." It describes items that have been gathered or accumulated rather than created anew. The term is commonly used before a noun, for example: angesammelte Belege (collected evidence) or angesammelte Daten (collected data). It is versatile in academic, archival, and literary contexts.

Declension and usage notes: Angesammelte follows standard German adjective endings in attributive position. With a definite article, examples include der angesammelte Beleg (masculine singular), das angesammelte Material (neuter singular), and die angesammelte Sammlung (feminine singular). In plural, the form is die angesammelten Belege or die angesammelten Daten. The exact ending depends on case and number, but the base form angesammelte is used before plural nouns and in feminine singular as shown.

Nuance and contexts: The adjective emphasizes the result of a gathering process and can imply deliberate collection or compilation, as opposed to items described by gesammelte, which is more neutral. Angesammelte appears in scientific descriptions, archival inventories, historical writing, and other contexts where a body of material has been purposefully assembled.

Examples of usage: "Die Forscher nutzten angesammelte Daten aus mehreren Studien." "Die angesammelte Dokumentation dient als Grundlage der Analyse." In contrast, gerundlike phrases or other verbs may yield different nuances, but angesammelte remains common for describing compiled material.
