diadukaduk

Diadukaduk is an Indonesian verb form meaning to be stirred or mixed repeatedly. Derived from aduk (to stir) with the passive prefix di- and reduplication, diadukaduk conveys the sense of continuous or thorough stirring.

Etymology and morphology: The word combines di- (passive voice) with reduplication of the base verb aduk. Reduplication in Indonesian often intensifies or prolongs action, here indicating repeating the stirring.

Usage: In cooking, diadukaduk appears in recipes and kitchen instructions to indicate that ingredients should be mixed until evenly incorporated. Example: "tuang adonan, diadukaduk hingga rata." The form is frequently written as diaduk-aduk in casual texts, but diadukaduk is also encountered.

Beyond cooking, diadukaduk can be used metaphorically to describe processes or information that are being mixed or jumbled in public discourse; its use in metaphor is informal and context-dependent.
