obtainedexamined
Obtainedexamined is a nonstandard compound term formed by joining the past participles obtained and examined. It does not appear in major dictionaries and has no formal definition in widely used style guides. When used, it serves as a concise label in technical writing to signal that an item has undergone two sequential stages: it was obtained and it was subsequently examined.
