forebygges

Forebygges is a verb form used in Norwegian and Danish that denotes preventive action. It is the present tense passive form of the verb forebygge (to prevent). In English translation, it can correspond to “is prevented” or “prevents” depending on the subject and grammatical voice. The term appears primarily in formal or technical writing to describe actions taken before harm or problems occur.

In practice, forebygges describes measures designed to reduce risk and avoid undesired outcomes. Its use spans several domains, including public health, safety, the environment, and cybersecurity. Examples include vaccination programs and health education to forebygges disease, safety training and risk assessments to forebygges accidents, and policies or procedures that forebygges environmental damage or data breaches. The formulation is common in policy documents, guidelines, and risk-management discussions where proactive steps are emphasized over reactive responses.

Etymology and related terms: forebygges comes from forebygge, built from the prefix for- (forward) and bygge (to build). This reflects the idea of building preventive measures in advance.
