demonstreret

Demonstreret is the Danish past participle of the verb demonstrere, meaning to demonstrate, show, or prove by evidence. As a participle it is used to indicate that something has been shown or substantiated, and it can function in sentences to express completed demonstration or proven results. In scientific and formal writing, demonstreret commonly appears in perfect tense with har (har demonstreret) to signify that a finding has been demonstrated, and in passive constructions such as Det blev demonstreret to indicate that a demonstration or proof occurred.

Etymology and cognates: Demonstreret is derived from demonstrere, which in turn comes from the French démontrer, ultimately tracing back to Latin demonstrare, meaning to point out or exhibit. The word has recognizable cognates in several languages, such as English demonstrated and German demonstriert.

Usage and nuance: Demonstreret emphasizes that something has been evidenced through demonstration rather than merely claimed. It is typical in technical, scientific, and analytical contexts to describe results, effects, or relationships that have been shown. It should not be confused with demonstration as a public display or with the verb form in the present tense.

Examples: Undersøgelsen har demonstreret en sammenhæng mellem variablerne. Forskningen demonstrerede effekten i forsøget. Begyndte dataanalyse at bekræfte det, blev resultaterne demonstreret gennem analysen.
