præcisert

Præcisert is a Danish term that functions as the past participle and as an adjective derived from the verb præcisere, meaning to specify clearly or to make precise. As an adjective, præcisert describes something that has been made precise or clarified, for example in a contract, report, or technical description.

Etymology and formation: The verb præcisere is built from the Danish word præcis (precise) with the standard verb suffix -ere. The past participle is formed with the suffix -ert, giving præcisert. The form is most commonly found in written and formal Danish, rather than in casual speech.

Usage: Præcisert is used to indicate that aspects of a statement, term, or procedure have been clarified or specified. It appears frequently in legal, technical, and academic contexts. Examples include phrases such as “Betingelserne er præcisert” (the terms have been specified) or “en præcisert beskrivelse af processen” (a precisely specified description of the process).

Grammatical notes: Præcisert can function predicatively (Betingelserne er præcisert) or attributively (en præcisert tekst). The related noun is præcisering, which denotes the act of making something more precise. The root præcis (precise) also yields related forms such as præcisere (to specify precisely).

Cross-language context: In other Nordic languages, cognates exist with different spellings, for example Norwegian presisert/presisere and Swedish preciserat. While similar in meaning, usage and frequency vary by language and register.
