ausgerichteter

Ausrichteter is a German attributive adjective formed from the participle ausgerichtet, meaning oriented, directed, aimed, or organized. As a modifier it describes something that has a specific direction, goal, or arrangement. The form ausgerichteter corresponds to the masculine nominative singular before a noun (for example, der ausgerichtete Termin). Other genders and numbers use ausgerichtete (feminine/plural) or ausgerichtetes (neuter).

Etymology and usage: The word comes from the verb ausrichten, which encompasses meanings such as to align, to direct, to host, or to organize. In modern usage, ausgerichteter typically refers to an orientation or a decision that directs attention, resources, or actions toward a goal. It is common in technical, organizational, or evaluative contexts.

Common contexts: Ausgerichteter Fokus or Ausrichtung describes a targeted focus or orientation, as in der ausgerichtete Fokus der Forschung auf erneuerbare Energien. Ausgerichtete Veranstaltungen or Veranstaltungen ausrichten refer to events that are organized or hosted by someone. The term can describe objects or concepts that are oriented toward a purpose, such as eine ausgerichtete Linse (an oriented lens) or eine ausgerichtete Strategie (an oriented strategy).

Related terms: Ausrichtung (orientation, alignment) is the nominal form; ausrichten is the verb; weitere related terms include orientieren (to orient) and zielgerichtet (goal-directed), which expresses a similar sense of purpose. The word is primarily descriptive and evaluative, not a standalone noun.

Notes: Ausgerichteter is a standard, neutral descriptor in German prose and technical writing, and its exact meaning depends on the noun it modifies and the context of orientation or organization.
