determinierten

Determinierten is a grammatical form of the German verb determinieren, which means to determine, fix, or specify something. As a finite verb form, determinierten appears in conjugated past-tense contexts and, through its participial or adjectival uses, in compound phrases. Deteminieren itself is a regular -ieren verb, so its standard conjugation follows the familiar pattern for many technical terms in German.

The verb determinieren is used across scientific, mathematical, legal, and technical language to express fixing a value, identifying a parameter, setting constraints, or deciding a course of action. In mathematics and the sciences it may describe the process of determining or specifying a quantity or condition. In everyday and professional language it can carry nuances such as delimiting boundaries, selecting options, or establishing criteria.

Etymologically, determinieren is a loanword into German from the Latin determinare, via early modern European languages, with further influence from the English word determine. The term sits alongside related German forms such as Bestimmung (determination), Determinante (the mathematical determinant), and Determinismus (determinism).

In usage, determinierten does not constitute a standalone noun; it is a verb form used to convey past action or to participate in compound verbal constructions. Related nominal and technical terms include Determinierung (the act of determining) and determinante in mathematics, illustrating how the broader concept of determination appears in various disciplines.
