ausgelegte

Ausgelegte is a German adjectival form derived from the verb auslegen. It is the past participle ausgelegt used attributively and inflected to agree with the noun it modifies. In context, ausgelegt can mean something that has been laid out, laid down, or interpreted, depending on the sense of auslegen in the sentence. The attributive form ausgelegte appears before feminine singular nouns, and the full paradigm extends to other genders and plural forms (masculine: der ausgelegte Plan; neuter: das ausgelegte Dokument; plural: die ausgelegten Bedeutungen).
