gevist

Gevist is a Dutch word primarily used as the past participle of the verb vissen, meaning to fish. In standard Dutch, gevist is used in perfect tenses with the auxiliary hebben. The most common constructions are Hij heeft gevist and De vissers hebben gevist, indicating that someone has gone fishing or that fishing activity has been completed.

The etymology of gevist traces back to the infinitive vissen, with the prefix ge- forming the past participle. The form is regular for verbs ending in -sen, and the participle is formed in the standard way for Dutch verbs that take ge- as a prefix.

In modern Dutch, gevist typically describes a completed fishing action rather than the act of fishing in progress. It is commonly encountered in factual or descriptive contexts, such as reports of catches, historical accounts, or written narratives that note what has been fished or what was caught.

Gevist is not commonly used as a standalone noun or as a widely recognized proper noun. There are no well-established uses of gevist as a place name or a notable surname in contemporary sources. When encountered in texts, it is usually clear from context that gevist is the verb-form participle rather than a noun.
