eingesammelt

Eingesammelt is a German past participle and adjective derived from the verb einsammeln, meaning to collect or gather. It denotes that items, data, or other objects have been gathered, typically by an organized effort or for a specific purpose. In sentences it is usually used with the auxiliary haben to form perfect tenses, as in Ich habe Spenden eingesammelt.

As an adjective or attributive participle, eing esammelt can describe a set of items after gathering, for example eingesammelte Belege or eingesammelte Spenden. Predicatively one can also say Die Belege sind eingesammelt. The form indicates the completion of the act of collection rather than the act itself.

Common contexts for usage include charitable campaigns, where money or goods are collected; administrative or research contexts, where data, forms, or receipts are gathered; and general reporting about completed collection efforts. The term often carries a nuance of purposeful or organized collecting rather than casual accumulation.

Etymology and related forms: eingesammelt is formed from einsammeln with the separable prefix ein-, and the past participle is used with haben. It is related to the simpler verb gesammeln (to gather) but carries the emphasis on the act being completed as part of a collection effort rather than just the result.
