entnehmbares

Entnehmbares is a German adjective meaning removable or detachable. It is formed from the verb entnehmen (to remove, to take out) plus the suffix -bar, which denotes capability. In usage, entnehmbar describes a component or element that can be separated from a system without dismantling the entire device.

Grammar and usage notes: the base form is entnehmbar. When used attributively before a neuter singular noun, the form becomes entnehmbares (for example, ein entnehmbares Bauteil). With a definite article, the form is das entnehmbare Bauteil. In plural constructions, Sie use entnehmbare: die entnehmbaren Teile. The word is commonly encountered in technical, consumer, and instructional contexts.

Contexts and examples: entnehmbares is widely used in product design, electronics, furniture, automotive engineering, and medical devices to indicate removable parts or modules. Examples include ein entnehmbares Netzteil (a removable power supply), ein entnehmbares Fach (a removable compartment), or entnehmbare Griffe on furniture. Clear labeling of removable components can facilitate maintenance, repair, and safe handling.

Relation to similar terms: synonyms include abnehmbar and herausnehmbar. While entnehmbar focuses on the capability to remove something from within a system, abnehmbar often emphasizes the act of removal, and herausnehmbar can stress removal from a specific position or slot. The choice among them depends on nuance and context.

Etymology: entnehmbar derives from entnehmen, combining a prefix that indicates extraction with the -bar suffix, common in German to form adjectives describing removable or removable-like characteristics.
