geymsluð

Geymsluð is an Icelandic adjective formed from the verb geyma, meaning to store or keep. It is used to describe something that has been placed in storage or archived. As a past participle, geymsluð conveys that the action of storing has been completed, and it is commonly found in formal or technical contexts such as logistics, archiving, and information technology.

In usage, geymsluð is typically attached to a noun to indicate its stored state, for example geymsluð gögn (stored data), geymsluð rafræn gögn (stored electronic data), or geymsluð vara (stored goods). The form can appear in attributive position before the noun or as a predicate, depending on sentence structure. Icelandic adjectives inflect for gender and number, so related forms of the participle exist to agree with different nouns in a sentence.

Etymologically, geymsluð derives from geyma (to store) with the participial suffixing characteristic of Icelandic past participles, aligning with other stored/kept constructions in the language. The term is especially common in writings about data management, archival practice, warehousing, and supply chain documentation, where items are described by their storage status.

Compared with related terms, geymsla refers to storage as a concept or place, while geymsluð describes the state of being stored. In everyday language, simpler phrases about keeping or storing may be used, but geymsluð remains a precise, technical descriptor in Icelandic.
