izraivanje

Izraivanje is a term found in some South Slavic language varieties, though in standard usage it is uncommon. In Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, the equivalent noun is izrađivanje, meaning manufacturing, fabrication, or the act of making. The form izraivanje may occur as a regional variant or a misspelling, and in many contexts it is treated as a non-standard spelling of izrađivanje.

Meaning and scope: Izrađivanje denotes the process of creating a product from raw materials, encompassing design, shaping, assembly, and finishing. It is used in discussions of crafts, woodworking, metalworking, textiles, and industrial production to describe the production chain from material to finished item.

Etymology: Derived from the verb izraditi (to manufacture, to make) or izradivati, with the nominalizing suffix -ivanje, and the prefix iz- meaning "out" or "to produce."

Related terms: Izrađivanje is closely related to izrada (the finished product) and to terms for production in various languages (e.g., Croatian izrada, Serbian izrada). It should not be confused with izražavanje (expression) or izravnavanje (leveling).

Notes: As a non-English term, its meaning relies on context and region; readers may encounter it mainly in regional texts or dictionaries that preserve historical spellings. In formal or contemporary technical writing, izrađivanje or izrada is more commonly used.
