kudoksittain

Kudoksittain is a Finnish adverb meaning “by tissue” or “tissue by tissue.” It is used to indicate that something is considered, distributed, or analyzed separately for each tissue, rather than across the whole organism or system. The term is primarily found in scientific, medical, and biological writing, where precise, tissue-specific reporting is important.

The word is formed from the noun kudos (tissue) with the adverbial suffix -ittain. As an adverb, kudoksittain typically accompanies verbs or adjectives to specify the manner or basis of a statement, for example in distributions, measurements, or comparisons conducted per tissue.

In usage, kudoksittain often appears in contexts such as measurements, analyses, or results that vary between tissues. Example sentences in Finnish might include: “Pitoisuus mitattiin kudoksittain,” meaning that concentration was measured for each tissue; or “Aineen vasteet analysoitiin kudoksittain,” indicating tissue-specific responses were analyzed. The term signals a high level of specificity and is most common in technical texts rather than everyday language.

Notes on usage and nuance: kudoksittain is a precise term and may be replaced by more general phrases when tissue-specific detail is not required. It is typically used alongside other technical phrasing that clarifies which tissues are being discussed and how data are aggregated or compared across tissues.
