pakett

Pakett is a noun used in several languages, most notably in Estonian, to refer to a packaged item intended for delivery or a bundle of goods. In postal and courier contexts, a pakett generally denotes a parcel that is larger or differently prepared than a standard letter and is typically tracked, insured, and subject to customs or import rules depending on the destination.

In addition to physical packages, the term is used to describe bundles or collections of services and products. In commerce and marketing, a pakett can mean a package deal that combines multiple items or services—for example, a holiday pakett that includes flights, accommodation, and activities, or a telecom pakett that bundles internet, television, and phone services.

In computing and software, a pakett can refer to a software package—a curated collection of programs, libraries, and metadata that can be installed and managed as a unit. This usage mirrors the general sense of a bundled set of components designed to be deployed together.

Etymology and cognates: pakett is a loanword derived from the German Paket, a term found in several European languages with similar meanings related to packages or parcels. In Estonian and other languages that adopt the word with similar spelling, it preserves the sense of a discrete, often transportable or installable, collection of items.
