oppdatert

Oppdatert is a Norwegian adjective and past participle meaning updated. It is used to describe information, software, data, or other content that has been revised to reflect new information or fixes. The term is derived from the verb oppdatere, which combines opp- with datere in the sense of refreshing or bringing up to date.

Common usage includes phrases such as oppdatert informasjon (updated information), oppdatert programvare (updated software), and oppdatert innhold (updated content). In Norwegian, oppdatert can be used attributively before the noun, as in oppdatert informasjon, or predicatively, such as Systemet er oppdatert. As a rule, it often appears with a timestamp or version number to indicate exactly what was revised.

In computing and digital media, oppdatert typically signals currency and reliability, but it requires verification of the accompanying details to ensure the update covers the desired changes. The update process may involve patching, data migration, or version control.

Etymology: oppdatere is formed from prefix opp- and the verb datere, meaning to date or refresh; oppdatert is the past participle used as an adjective to describe revised content.
