erzeugter

Erzeugter is the attributive, adjectival form derived from the past participle erzeuge n, of the verb erzeugen, meaning to generate, produce, or create. As an adjective, erzeugter describes something that has been produced or generated. It is not a standalone lexical item but a declined form used in combination with a noun.

In German grammar, erzeugter is used according to standard adjective declension rules. With a definite article, the form changes to der erzeugte Strom (masculine singular). Without a definite article, the strong declension yields erzeugter Strom as in er erzeugter Strom wird genutzt. For feminine or plural nouns, other endings apply, such as eine erzeugte Leitung (feminine singular), ein erzeugtes Produkt (neuter singular), or erzeugte Produkte (plural). The form erzeugter is therefore typical in masculine singular nominative when the article is indefinite.

Common contexts for erzeugter include energy, manufacturing, data, and science, where one speaks of electricity, outputs, data sets, or results that have been produced by a process or system. Examples: erzeugter Strom, erzeugte Daten, erzeugtes Produkt, erzeugte Ergebnisse.

Etymologically, erzeugen combines der prefix er- with zeugen (to bear or bring forth); the resulting participle er zeugt has the sense of bringing forth, hence generated. Related terms include Erzeugung (generation, production) and Erzeuger (producer). The form erzeugter remains a grammatical variant of the participial adjective rather than a separate lexeme.
