jälgitud

Jälgitud is an Estonian term meaning “tracked,” “monitored,” or “followed.” It functions as a past passive participle form of the verb jälgida or jälgima, which denotes tracking, following, or observing. The word is used to indicate that something has been subjected to tracking or observation, or that its movements or actions have been recorded.

Etymology and form: Jälgitud is formed from the noun jälg (trace, track) with the participial suffix -itud, yielding a descriptive form for something that has been tracked. It is common in both formal and technical language to describe data, processes, or entities that have been observed or logged.

Usage: In data processing and privacy contexts, jälgitud often appears in phrases such as jälgitud andmed (tracked data) or jälgitav tegevus (traceable activity). In logistics and supply chains, it can describe goods whose movement has been monitored throughout a journey. In general language, it can describe a person or object that has been observed or followed, though in formal writing it typically conveys a neutral or descriptive sense rather than judgment.

Related terms: Jälgimine (monitoring or tracking), jälgitav (traceable), and jälgima (to track or monitor). These forms share the same root and are commonly used in discussions of surveillance, data logging, and traceability.
