flokkgerð

Flokkgerð is a term used in certain Icelandic contexts, generally referring to a categorization or classification system, often applied to social groups, types of people, or even breeds or kinds of things. The word itself is a compound of "flokkur" meaning group or class, and "gerð" meaning type or kind. Therefore, "flokkgerð" literally translates to "group type" or "class kind."

The specific application of flokkgerð can vary. In sociological discussions, it might denote distinct social strata or categories of individuals based on shared characteristics like profession, income, or lifestyle. In less formal settings, it could be used to describe different types of animals or even products. The context in which the term is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning. It implies an established way of dividing entities into distinct, recognizable categories.
