enregistrierte

Enregistrierte is the past participle and adjectival form of the German loanword enregistrieren, which means to record or register information. In standard German, the more common verbs for this idea are registrieren (to register) and aufzeichnen (to record). Enregistrieren is encountered primarily in technical, scientific, or multilingual contexts, or in texts that deliberately retain a French-influenced vocabulary.

Etymology and usage notes: enregistrieren is a German adaptation of the French verb enregistrer, with the typical German -ieren suffix. The form enregistrierte, enregistriertes, or enregistrierten functions as an attributive or predicative adjective, as in enregistrierte Daten (recorded/registered data) or die enregistrierte Datei (the recorded/registered file). In everyday language, however, speakers more often use registrierte Daten or registrierte Datei.

Contexts and nuance: The term tends to appear in domains dealing with data logging, archival practices, or formal documentation, where precise wording matters and a multilingual or technical tone is desired. Outside such contexts, enregistrieren is rarely preferred, and its use may sound overly formal or uncommon to everyday readers.

Examples:

- Die enregistrierte Datei enthält Protokollinformationen.

- Alle enregistrierten Transaktionen werden in der Revisionskette gespeichert.
