samengelde

Samengelde is a Dutch term used to describe something that has been formed by combining several distinct components. It is used across different fields to indicate a composite or integrated nature, and can function as an adjective or as part of a compound noun.

In science, engineering, and technology, samengelde is commonly applied to materials, systems, and designs that rely on the combination of two or more constituents to achieve properties that are not present in the individual parts. For example, samengelde materials, or composite materials, such as fiber-reinforced polymers, blend different phases to improve strength, stiffness, or durability. In data and information contexts, samengelde datasets refer to data collections assembled from multiple sources, often harmonized for analysis.

The neutral usage of the term emphasizes the resultant form rather than the process. It contrasts with terms that stress the process of combining, such as samenstellen (to assemble) or samengestelde (composed). In practical writing, samengelde is often found in technical manuals, engineering reports, and scientific literature to describe the outcome of integration.
