dirakit

Dirakit is an Indonesian term used to indicate that a device or object has been assembled from separate parts or is provided as a kit. It is common in manufacturing, electronics, consumer products, and technical documentation to signal that the item is not sold as a single prebuilt unit but is put together from components. The phrase can appear as an adjective, as in perangkat dirakit, or as a passive verb, as in ini dirakit.

Etymology and usage: The word is formed with the passive di- prefix attached to merakit, which means to assemble. The suffix -kan yields the participle dirakit, meaning “having been assembled” or “to be assembled.” It describes a state resulting from assembly rather than the act itself. In contrast, rakitan is a noun meaning “kit” or “assembly” and is used to refer to the parts themselves or to a kit that a user assembles.

Examples and distinctions: Common phrases include komputer dirakit (an assembled computer) and produk dirakit (an assembled product). If a product is intended to be assembled by the buyer, it may be described as rakitan or as a kit (kit rakitan). The focus of dirakit is the current state of the product, while rakitan emphasizes the parts or the kit.
