fikseeritud

Fikseeritud is an Estonian adjective meaning fixed, locked, or stabilized. It describes something that has been set in a definite state and is not subject to change without deliberate action. The form is the past passive participle of the verb fikseerida, which means to fix, secure, set, or pin in place.

Common uses span everyday language and technical or formal contexts. A fikseeritud hind refers to a price that does not change. Fikseeritud tähtajad describe fixed deadlines or terms. In technical writing, fikseeritud asend or fikseeritud väärtus can denote a position or value that is locked or constant in a design, experiment, or calculation. In mathematics, phrases like fikseeritud punkt are used to denote a fixed point.

Etymology and morphology: the word is a loan/derivative from the verb fikseerida, related to the idea of fixing or securing something in place. The suffix -atud marks it as a past participle used as an adjective, yielding the sense of “having been fixed.” Over time, it has entered various registers—from everyday speech to engineering, finance, and law—where constancy or immutability is described.
