revisioksi

Revisioksi is the translative form of the Finnish noun revisio, meaning a revision or the act of revising, as well as the result or designated form after revision. The word is formed with the translative suffix -ksi, which in Finnish signals a change of state or designation, often translated as “into” or “as.”

Usage and meaning

In Finnish, revisio refers to the process of revising something, such as a document, plan, or text, or to the version that results from that process. Revisioksi marks that something is being described as, or intended to become, a revision. It is most common in technical, administrative, archival, and academic contexts, where precise phrasing is needed to denote the state or target of a revision.

Examples

Dokumentti muutettiin revisioksi. The document was changed into a revision.

Uusin painos on revisio. The latest edition is a revision (or revised version).

Relation to other terms

Revisio is related to concepts such as korjaus, muutos, and tarkistus, all of which involve modification or verification. The translative form revisioksi distinguishes the act or outcome of revising from the original form.

Etymology

The term revisio comes from Latin revisio, meaning a review or looking again. The Finnish translative suffix -ksi expresses conversion into a state or role, yielding revisioksi as “into a revision” or “as a revision.”
