rausnehmbar

Rausnehmbar is an adjective used in German to describe objects or components that can be removed or taken out without destroying or permanently altering the item. In English, it corresponds to “removable” or “extractable.” The word is formed from rausnehmen (to take out) and the suffix -bar, and is common in technical writing as well as everyday language.

Usage and examples: Rausnehmbare parts or features appear in many fields. Examples include a rausnehmbarer Filter in a coffee machine, a rausnehmbarer Akku in electronic devices, or a rausnehmbare Trennwand in furniture. In the medical and industrial sectors, housings, inserts, or compartments are sometimes designed to be rausnehmbar to facilitate cleaning, maintenance, or replacement.

Nuances: The term is widely understood but can be perceived as somewhat colloquial; in formal writing herausnehmbar or entnehmbar are often preferred. Synonyms include herausnehmbar, entnehmbar, and abnehmbar, with slight contextual differences: herausnehmbar emphasizes the act of removing, entnehmbar emphasizes the ability to be removed, and abnehmbar often highlights the capability of detaching or taking off.
