ingeregelde

Ingeregelde is the adjectival form derived from the Dutch verb inregelen, which means to set up, adjust, or configure a system so that it operates according to predefined settings or a schedule. The term is used to describe things that have been configured, calibrated, or scheduled to a specific state.

Usage of ingeregelde is most common in technical, engineering, IT, and administrative contexts. It can refer to equipment, software, processes, or timetables that have been prepared to meet particular requirements. For example, an ingeregelde machine operates with the pre-set parameters, and ingeregelde work times refer to a pre-approved schedule. Because it is an adjective, ingeregelde agrees with the noun it modifies (for instance, ingeregelde systemen or ingeregelde schema’s).

Grammatical notes emphasize that ingeregelde is the attributive feminine singular or plural form used before a noun, while the related past participle form of inregelen exists as the base form in other grammatical contexts. In everyday language, speakers may also use synonyms such as ingesteld, afgesteld, or gekalibreerd to convey a similar idea of configuration or calibration, depending on the context.

Etymology traces ingeregelde to the prefix in- combined with regelen (to regulate). The word reflects a completed action of configuring something to a predetermined state. In professional writing, ingeregelde is favored when describing items that have already been prepared or scheduled, whereas more general terms like ingesteld or afgesteld may be used for broader or less technical situations.
