hervorzubringen

Hervorzubringen is the infinitive form of the German verb hervorbringen, meaning to bring forth, produce, elicit, or reveal. It is used when something is produced or made visible as a result of action, and it can refer to physical generation as well as to abstract results such as findings, proofs, or conclusions. The term appears across academic, scientific, and formal contexts, but is also found in common usage when emphasizing the act of bringing something into existence or awareness.

Hervorbringen is a separable prefix verb. In finite forms the prefix separations are evident (er bringt hervor, sie bringen hervor). In perfect tense, it becomes hat hervorgebracht. In infinitive constructions with zu, the form is hervorzubringen. This構ure allows expressions like Es ist schwierig, eine Lösung hervorzubringen or Die Studie soll neue Erkenntnisse hervorzubringen, to indicate the difficulty or aim of producing a result.

Usage notes and nuances: hervorzubringen often stresses the result that comes into being through effort, inquiry, or intervention. It is common with nouns such as Ergebnisse, Beweise, Erkenntnisse, Lösungen, Argumente, or Gefühle. The term sits in a formal to neutral register and is preferred in scientific, technical, and analytical writing where precise articulation of produced outcomes is required. It can be contrasted with synonyms like erzeugen or entwickeln, which may carry slightly different emphases on causation, creation, or development.

Examples:

- Das Experiment war darauf ausgelegt, neue Ergebnisse hervorzubringen.

- Es ist schwer, unter diesen Bedingungen eine überzeugende Lösung hervorzubringen.

Etymology: from hervor- (outward, forth) + bringen (to bring).
