einbezogen

Einbezogen is a German verb form derived from einbeziehen. It denotes that something has been brought into a larger context, such as a document, discussion, plan, or decision. In usage, it often refers to information, data, or people that have been incorporated or included in a process.

Etymology and grammar: The term combines the prefix ein- with beziehen, forming the verb einbeziehen. It is conjugated with the auxiliary haben in perfect tenses (for example, Ich habe die Daten einbezogen). As a participle and adjective, einbezogen can modify a noun (die einbezogenen Daten) and agrees with gender and number through standard article- noun- adjective patterns.

Usage and nuance: Einbezogen is used when something is actively brought into a system, document, or discussion. It emphasizes inclusion or incorporation rather than mere consideration. It is distinct from berücksichtigten and beachten, which focus more on taking something into account, and from einschließen, which can mean to include something as part of a set or group.

Examples:

- Wir haben die Ergebnisse in den Bericht einbezogen.

- Die einbezogenen Daten stammen aus mehreren Quellen.

- Im Vertrag wurden weitere Klauseln in die Vereinbarung einbezogen.
