blockierter

Blockierter is a German term derived from the verb blockieren (to block). In standard usage it functions mainly as an adjective in its past participle form, meaning “blocked.” The form blockierter can appear in attributive position without a definite determiner or in nominalized contexts, but in everyday language blockiert and blockierte are more common.

Usage and contexts: In computing, online moderation, and access control, blockierter describes resources, accounts, or users whose access has been restricted. Examples include phrases like "Der blockierte Zugriff" (the blocked access) or "ein blockierter Benutzer" (a blocked user). In technical documentation or headlines, blockierter may occur as part of compound noun phrases such as "blockierter Kanal" (blocked channel).

Nominalized usage: The participle can be nominalized to refer to a person who has been blocked, typically written as "der Blockierte" or occasionally as "ein Blockierter" in more formal or legal contexts. This usage is less common than treating the term as an adjective.

Etymology and related terms: Blockierter derives from blockieren. Related terms include Blockade (blockade), Blockierung (blocking/blocking action), and Blockierer (one who blocks). The most frequent adjective form in ordinary prose is blockiert; the attributive form in standard contexts is blockierte (e.g., der blockierte Zugriff).
