nichtsteigerbaren

Nichtsteigerbaren is the deklinierte form of the German adjective nichtsteigerbar, which means that something cannot be increased, extended, or raised further. The term is used in technical, scientific, and economic texts to describe limits, capacities, or properties that are not subject to further growth or escalation.

Etymology and grammar: The word is built from nicht (not) and steigbar (capable of increasing). In sentences the form nichtsteigerbar is declined according to gender, number, and case. For example: eine nichtsteigerbare Komponente (feminine singular nominative), der nichtsteigerbaren Komponenten (plural genitive), mit nichtsteigerbaren Komponenten (plural dative). The plural form nichtsteigerbaren appears in contexts such as der nichtsteigerbaren Grenzen or mit nichtsteigerbaren Optionen.

Usage and contexts: In mathematics, engineering, economics, and law, nichtsteigerbar describes constraints that cannot be extended. Examples include nichtsteigerbare Grenze (an upper limit that cannot be exceeded), nichtsteigerbare Kapazität (capacity that cannot be increased), or nichtsteigerbarer Preis (price that cannot be raised further). The term often appears when discussing fixed limits, regulatory constraints, or systems with capped growth.

Related terms: It contrasts with steigbar (capable of increasing) and with phrases like unbegrenzt steigerbar (infinitely scalable) or begrenzt steigerbar (limited in its ability to rise). In everyday language, speakers may use nicht steigerbar as two words, but the compound form nichtsteigerbar is common in technical writing.
