onverdunde

Onverdunde is a Dutch adjective meaning undiluted or unmixed, describing liquids, solutions, or preparations that have not been watered down or thinned with another substance. It is commonly used in everyday language, labeling, and technical contexts to distinguish a product in its original concentration from a diluted form.

Etymology and usage context: The word is formed with the prefix on-, indicating negation, attached to verdund, the past participle of verdunnen (to dilute). The opposite term is verdund (diluted). Onverdunde appears in contexts such as beverages, juices, syrups, oils, and chemical or pharmaceutical solutions when no dilution has occurred. In labeling, it indicates that the product is in its original strength, which can be important for cooking, nutrition, or safety considerations.

Examples of usage: "onverdunde sap" (undiluted juice), "onverdunde melk" (undiluted milk), "onverdunde olie" (undiluted oil). In recipes or dietary guidance, the term helps distinguish between concentrated or pure ingredients versus those prepared or diluted for consumption. In chemistry or pharmacology, onverdunde may be used to specify the concentration of a solution before any dilution steps.

Relation to related terms: The concept is closely tied to verdund (diluted) and to concentration terms such as geconcentreerd. The choice between onverdund and verdund depends on the context and the noun being described.
