rækkeviddegørende

Rækkeviddegørende is a Danish term that translates to "far-reaching" or "extensive" in English. It is often used to describe the scope, impact, or implications of something. The word itself is a compound of "rækkevidde," meaning range or reach, and "gørende," the present participle of "gøre," meaning to make or do. Therefore, "rækkeviddegørende" literally signifies something that makes its reach extensive.

In various contexts, "rækkeviddegørende" can denote a significant and widespread effect. For instance, a political decision might be described as "rækkeviddegørende" if its consequences affect many aspects of society or a large number of people over a long period. Similarly, a scientific discovery could be "rækkeviddegørende" if it opens up new fields of research or fundamentally changes our understanding of a subject.

The term implies a quality of depth and breadth, suggesting that the subject in question extends beyond immediate or obvious boundaries. It is often used when discussing plans, strategies, or developments that have long-term and wide-ranging consequences. The neutral tone of the word itself avoids judgment, simply stating the extensive nature of the impact or scope.
