gesorgt

Gesorgt is the past participle of the German verb sorgen, meaning to worry or to care. In contemporary usage it functions mainly as a participial adjective in predicate position or in fixed phrases to indicate that arrangements have been made or needs have been provided for. It is commonly encountered in expressions such as Für das leibliche Wohl ist gesorgt, meaning that provision for food and drink has been arranged, or Es ist gesorgt, meaning that the matter has been taken care of.

Grammatically, gesorgt is formed with the ge- prefix from sorgen. It is typically used with the auxiliary haben in a perfect construction: Ich habe dafür gesorgt (I have taken care of that). As an attributive or standalone adjective, gesorgt is uncommon; more usual is to see it in predicative phrases rather than as a bare adjective before a noun.

Usage and register: The expression Für X ist gesorgt is common in hospitality, advertising, and event notices to reassure audiences that needs will be met. In English, it corresponds to “everything’s taken care of” or “we’ve got you covered.” In everyday speech, gesorgt may appear in shorter utterances like Es ist gesorgt or Darauf ist gesorgt.

See also: sorgen, Sorge, sorge (as a concept of care or worry). This term is primarily lexical rather than a separate concept or title, and it appears most often as part of fixed phrases rather than as a stand-alone noun.
