ausgestaltet

Ausgestaltet is the past participle of the German verb ausgestalten, meaning to shape out, design, or elaborate a concept or structure. It is used both as a verb form in perfect tenses (Ich habe das Modell ausgestaltet) and as an adjective describing something that has been designed or carefully arranged (eine ausgestaltete Lösung).

Grammatically, ausgestaltet can function predicatively, as in Das System ist gut ausgestaltet, or attributively, as in eine ausgestaltete Lösung, ein ausgestalter Plan, oder ausgestaltete Layouts. In attributive use it agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case (masculine: ausgestalteter Plan, feminine: ausgestaltete Lösung, neuter: ausgestaltetes Layout, plural: ausgestaltete Pläne). The predicative form typically remains ausgestaltet without further endings.

Etymology and relation to other terms: ausgestalten is formed from the prefix aus- (out, thoroughly) and gestalten (to shape, to design). The word Gestalt refers to form or shape, and ausgestalten emphasizes the completion or thorough organization of a design or concept. Synonyms include entwerfen, designen, und gestalten, with ausgestaltet highlighting the end result and coherence of the design.

Context and usage: ausgestaltet is common in design, architecture, user experience, publishing, and planning contexts where the emphasis is on a deliberate, well-structured arrangement. It conveys that a concept or space has been developed with attention to form and function, rather than merely sketched or outlined.
