omrørt

Omrørt is a Norwegian and Danish past participle and adjective meaning "stirred" or "agitated", derived from the verb omrøre (to stir, to mix). It is used to describe substances or mixtures that have been moved or blended by stirring, and can be applied in both literal and figurative contexts.

In culinary usage omrørt describes foods or liquids that have been mixed by hand or tool, for example omrørte egg (eggs that have been stirred) or sausser som skal holdes omrørt (sauces that must be stirred). In bartending, omrørt contrasts with rystet (shaken) to indicate that a cocktail has been prepared by stirring. In technical and scientific contexts the word appears in descriptions of stirred suspensions, agitated fluids or resuspended sediments.

Grammatically, omrørt functions as the past participle of omrøre and as an adjective that can be inflected according to the rules of the language (e.g., plural forms). Figuratively, it may describe emotional states (mildly moved or unsettled) or events that have caused disturbance. Related terms include omrøring (the act of stirring) and røre (to stir, to touch). Translations into English typically use "stirred", "mixed" or "agitated" depending on context.
