fastgjort

Fastgjort is a Danish term that functions as the past participle of the verb fastgøre, meaning to fasten or to secure something to a surface or object. In Danish usage, fastgjort describes something that has been attached firmly and is no longer loose.

Etymology: The word combines fast- (fixed or secure) and gøre (to do or to make). It forms the past participle used in perfect tenses and in passive constructions.

Usage: The term is common in technical, construction, furniture, and mechanical contexts. It can refer to a panel, component, or device that has been attached with screws, bolts, rivets, welds, or adhesives. It can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is firmly established or settled.

Grammar: Fastgjort is the past participle of fastgøre. The present tense forms include fastgør (I/you/they fasten) and the passive present fastgøres (is fastened). In perfect tenses one uses har fastgjort or havde fastgjort.

Examples: The panel is fastgjort to the frame with four screws. The sensor is fastgjort securely to the mounting plate.
