meerdelige

Meerdelige is a Dutch adjective that describes something made up of more than one part. The term is used for works, products, or projects that are issued, presented, or organized in several parts or volumes rather than as a single unit. It implies a coherent whole that is segmented into distinct components.

In publishing, meerdelige is common for multi-volume works such as encyclopedias, dictionaries, or novels published in installments. In media and entertainment, it can describe series or films released in several parts that together form a complete narrative. In software or data products, meerdelige releases or meerdelige editions refer to packages delivered as a set of modules or components rather than one monolithic product. The adjective can also describe collections or editions that span multiple volumes, parts, or installments.

Meerdelige is generally used as an attributive adjective before a noun, as in meerdelige romans, meerdelige uitgaven, or meerdelige series. It signals that the thing is not a single, standalone unit, but is part of a broader, segmented arrangement. The term is common in library catalogs, publishing catalogs, and media descriptions in Dutch.
