geladenes

geladenes is the inflected form of the German participle geladen, derived from the verb laden (to load, to charge). It functions mainly as an adjective describing something that has been loaded or charged. Its ending changes with the article and the noun it modifies: with an indefinite article or no article, neuter singular attributive form is geladenes, as in ein geladenes Gepäckstück or geladenes Gepäckstück; with a definite article the attributive form is geladene, as in das geladene Gewehr.

In addition to its adjectival use, geladenes can be nominalized to form the noun Das Geladene, meaning roughly “the loaded/charged thing.” This nominal form is capitalized and occurs mainly in more formal or literary style to refer to something that has been loaded or charged.

In everyday language, geladenes appears in contexts such as logistics (geladenes Gepäckstück), firearms safety (geladenes Gewehr), or physics and chemistry (geladenes Teilchen, a charged particle). In scientific usage, the explicit phrase geladenes Teilchen is standard for a particle bearing an electric charge; the nominal Das Geladene may be used in stylized or conceptual writing.

Etymology and related terms: geladenes comes from laden, with the participle acting as a descriptive, later often functioning as an adjective or noun. Related terms include Ladung (load, charge) and the various declined forms of the adjective laden.
