dipautkan

Dipautkan is a verb form in Indonesian that means to be linked or connected by a link or reference. It is formed from the root pautkan (to link) with the passive prefix di- and the suffix -kan, yielding a sense that one entity is linked by another. The term is commonly used in technical, editorial, or digital contexts to describe cross‑references between resources.

In practice, dipautkan describes how a document, web page, or data item contains or is associated with a link to another resource. For example, a page may be dipautkan to related articles or external sources, or a database entry may be dipautkan to a corresponding record in another dataset. In encyclopedic writing or content management, it signals that links or references exist to connect related material.

Etymology and related terms: Dipautkan derives from the Malay/Indonesian root pautkan (to link) with di- marking passive voice. In contemporary Indonesian, related nouns such as tautan or pautan refer to the link itself, while dipautkan describes the linked state. In everyday language, speakers may prefer simpler constructions such as terhubung or terkait, depending on context.

Usage notes: Dipautkan is more common in formal, technical, or organizational writing. When clarity is needed, authors may pair it with a explicit object, e.g., "halaman ini dipautkan ke sumber referensi" or "entri dipautkan dengan catatan kaki." Depending on regional preference, tautkan or tautan may be used as substitutes or equivalents.
