behoben

Behoben is the past participle form of the German verb beheben, meaning to fix, remedy, or resolve. In standard usage it appears in perfect tenses with the auxiliary haben, as in Ich habe den Fehler behoben. It can also function as an adjective or in predicative constructions: Das Problem ist behoben (the problem has been resolved). When used attributively before a noun, it is declined like an ordinary adjective: ein behobenes Problem, behobene Fehler.

Etymology and grammar: Beheben combines the prefix be- with heben (to lift or raise), acquiring the sense of correcting or removing a fault. Beheben is a strong verb with the past participle behoben. The participle behaves as a finite form in compound tenses and can serve adjectivally or attributively, with standard German declension rules applying to the attributive form.

Usage and contexts: The term is common in technical, IT, manufacturing, and service contexts, where faults, bugs, or defects are identified and then corrected. In software development, release notes often state that a bug has been behoben. In maintenance or repair work, one speaks of Fehler behoben or Problem behoben to indicate that a problem has been fixed.

Behebung and related terms: The noun Behebung refers to the remediation or remedy itself, as in die Behebung eines Fehlers (the remediation of an error). Related phrases use beheben in various tenses, such as wir haben den Defekt behoben or der Defekt wurde behoben.
