obränd

Obränd is a Swedish word that translates to "unburnt" or "unburned" in English. It describes something that has not been subjected to fire or combustion, or that has not been completely consumed by fire.

The term can be used in various contexts. For instance, in forestry, obränd may refer to an area of land that has not been affected by a wildfire. In the context of fuel, obränd wood is wood that has not been burned for heat or other purposes. It can also describe materials that have not undergone a specific heating process, such as obränd pottery, which has not been fired in a kiln.

The opposite of obränd is "bränd," meaning "burnt" or "burned." Understanding the distinction is important for clear communication, especially in technical or descriptive fields where precise language is crucial. The state of being obränd implies its original, unaltered condition before the application of heat.
