ordineret

Ordineret is a Danish adjective and the past participle of the verb ordinere. It describes something that has been prescribed or officially ordained by an authority. The term is used in two broad contexts: medicine and religion, and can also describe formal directives issued by an authority.

In medicine, an ordineret medicin is a drug prescribed by a licensed clinician. The prescription specifies factors such as dose, administration schedule, and duration; the pharmacist will fill the prescription and dispense the medicine accordingly. The term appears frequently in patient information, medical records, and pharmacy workflows.

In religious contexts, ordineret refers to a person who has undergone ordination—a formal ceremony that confers or recognizes clerical status, such as a priest, deacon, or minister. The use of the participle emphasizes the resulting status as a consequence of ordination.

Etymology and usage: ordineret derives from the verb ordinere, itself from Latin ordinare, typically entering Danish through historical usage in both religious and secular language. In general Danish, ordineret can also describe a directive or order issued by an authority that has been formally issued, though this usage is less common outside specific professional contexts.
