presisert

Presisert is the past participle form of the Norwegian verb presisere, meaning to specify, clarify, or make precise. It is used both as a verb form and as an adjective to indicate that something has been explicitly defined or clarified in a text, agreement, or discussion. In formal contexts, presisert emphasizes that details have been stated in a precise and unequivocal way, often to reduce ambiguity.

Usage of presisert is common in legal, technical, and academic writing, where accuracy is important. It signals that a condition, requirement, or definition has been made explicit. Examples include phrases like «Punktet er presisert i avtalen» (The point is specified in the agreement) or «Det er presiserte krav til dokumentasjon» (There are clarified requirements for documentation).

As an adjective, presisert typically agrees with the noun it modifies, appearing in forms such as «et presisert krav» (a specified/clarified requirement) or «de presiserte kravene» (the clarified requirements). The related verb forms include presisere (infinitive), presiserer (present), presiserte (past), and presisert (past participle used as part of verb phrases or adjectives).

Related terms include presisering (the act or result of clarifying or specifying) and spesifisere (to specify), which is used in similar contexts. Presisert contrasts with more general terms for imprecision or ambiguity, such as uklart or vagt, highlighting the emphasis on exactness in formal communication.
