käigushoitud

käigushoitud is an Estonian verb meaning "kept in motion" or "maintained in operation." It is the past passive participle of the verb käigus hoidma, which translates to "to keep in motion" or "to maintain in operation." This term is often used in technical or mechanical contexts to describe machinery, systems, or processes that are actively being run or preserved in a working state.

The word can also be applied metaphorically to abstract concepts such as relationships or efforts. For instance, a relationship that is "käigushoitud" is one that is actively nurtured and sustained. Similarly, an ongoing project that is being effectively managed and continued can be described as "käigushoitud." The emphasis is on the continuous state of being functional or active, rather than a static condition. It implies a deliberate effort to prevent cessation or decay. The specific nuance can vary depending on the context, but the core meaning revolves around preservation and continued functioning.
