gewordener

Gwordener is a German adjective form derived from the past participle geworden, which itself comes from the verb werden (to become). In German grammar, gewordener is the masculine nominative singular attributive form meaning “that has become” or “having become.” The corresponding declined forms are gewordene for feminine nominative, gewordenes for neuter nominative, as well as other case endings when the word is declined before a noun. When used as a noun, the capitalized form Gewordene can refer to “the one who has become” and can carry a philosophical or literary sense.

Usage and nuance: Gewordener describes a state resulting from transformation or attainment of a new status. It is most commonly found in literary, philosophical, or religious contexts, where speakers emphasize a completed change. In everyday German, the construction is relatively formal or stylistically marked, and speakers often rely on alternative expressions to convey a similar idea. The term can function in both attributive positions (der gewordene Mann) and predicative constructions (Der Mann ist gewordener). As a noun, Gewordene is used to denote a person who has undergone a specified change, and it can be pluralized as Gewordene.

Examples: Der gewordene Mann hat viel gelernt. Die Gewordene hat einen neuen Lebensabschnitt begonnen. Das Gewordene bleibt oft subtil, aber spürbar.

Note: The term is mainly of grammatical and literary interest rather than a common everyday expression, and its exact acceptability can vary by register and author.
