dátach

Dátach is a term encountered in limited, nonstandard contexts and does not correspond to a single, widely recognized concept. In Irish-language sources, 'dátach' is not listed in standard dictionaries as a common word. When it appears, it is usually as a newly coined adjective formed from dáta (data) plus the adjectival suffix -ach, and its intended sense is typically "data-related" or "data-driven." Because Irish has a range of established terms for data-related ideas—such as sonraí for data and dáta in some senses—the interpretation of 'dátach' depends heavily on authorial intent and context.

In speculative or creative writing, 'Dátach' may be used as a proper name, title, or codename, such as for a place, organization, or character. Such usage is fictional and not indicative of a real-world term. Academic or technical usage tends to favor clearer vocabulary to avoid ambiguity.

The word is thus best treated as a lexical coinage rather than a fixed entry in linguistic or encyclopedic references. See also: dáta, sonraí, data, data-driven, Irish language. References would include standard Irish dictionaries and contemporary Irish-language corpora for any new coinages.
