ettbaserad

ettbaserad is a Swedish adjective used primarily in technical texts to describe something that is based on a single base or foundation. The term is formed by combining the neuter article ett with the past participle baserad, yielding a compound meaning based on one base. It is not widely listed in general dictionaries and is most common in specialized fields such as software design, data modelling, and methodological descriptions where a single base is contrasted with multiple bases.

In usage, ettbaserad is typically applied to concepts or systems that rely on one primary source, function, or reference point. The opposite form is flerbaserad or mångbaserad, used for models or methods with multiple bases. In discussions of indexing or numerical methods, writers may also choose 1-baserad or 0-baserad to indicate one-based or zero-based conventions; ettbaserad may appear as a stylistic variant in some texts or labels.

Because Swedish allows compounding, ettbaserad can appear in headings or captions as a compact descriptor, but in running text it is often clearer to phrase the meaning with a standard construction such as baserad på en enda grund or to use a numeral 1-baserad.
