oexplikerade

Oexplikerade is a Swedish adjective meaning "unexplained" or "not explicated." It is formed from the negative prefix o- and the past participle of the verb explikera (to explicate), and is used to describe phenomena, statements or results that have not been clarified or made explicit.

Grammatically, oexplikerade is the common plural or definite form of oexplikerad; the neuter form is oexplikerat. As with other adjectives in Swedish, the ending changes to agree with grammatical gender and number: en oexplikerad händelse (an unexplained event), ett oexplikerat resultat (an unexplained result), oexplikerade fynd (unexplained findings).

In usage, oexplikerade appears most often in formal, academic or analytical contexts where explication is expected but missing. It conveys a slightly different nuance than oförklarad, which more directly means "unexplained" in everyday language; oexplikerade stresses lack of explicit explanation or theoretical clarification. English equivalents include "unexplained," "unexplicated" or "not explicated."

Etymologically, explikera is related to Latin explicare via European scholarly usage, and the prefix o- is a common Swedish negative forming element. The term is relatively uncommon in everyday speech and is chiefly encountered in written, technical, or academic discourse. Related terms include explikera, explicerad and oförklarad.
