gelabelter

Gelabelter is a rarely used German noun formed from the participle gelabelt and the suffix -er. It denotes an entity that has been labeled or tagged. In practice, the term appears mainly in descriptive or technical contexts and is often replaced by more common phrases such as gelabelte Daten, gelabelter Datensatz, or simply das Gelabelte. The usage as a stand-alone noun is uncommon and can feel dated or stylistically unusual.

Etymology and form: The base word gelabelt comes from the verb labeln or etikettieren, meaning to attach a label. The noun form Gelabelter is a nominalization that can refer to a person or an object associated with labeling, depending on context. More typical German usage prefers compound phrases (for example, gelabelter Datensatz) or the neuter form Gelabelte when the emphasis is on the thing that bears the label.

Usage and context: In data science and research, the standard term for a labeled example is gelabelter Datensatz or gelabelter Datenpunkt, indicating that target variables or classifications are provided. In biology or chemistry, adjectives such as gelabelte Zellen or gelabelte Moleküle are common, while the standalone noun Gelabelter is seldom used outside specialized writing. When clarity is desired, writers opt for explicit phrasing rather than relying on the standalone noun.
