samlögð

Samlögð is a feminine singular past participle and an attributive adjective in Icelandic. It derives from the verb samlaga (to join, to combine) with the prefix sam- meaning together. As a participle, samlögð describes something that has been joined or merged.

In usage, samlögð agrees with feminine singular nouns and is commonly found in formal or technical writing. It is used to indicate that elements have been brought together or integrated, for example when referring to merged datasets, combined results, or consolidated items. It can appear before the noun it modifies or predicatively after a linking verb.

Etymology and related forms: the word is formed from sam- (together) and laga/lagja (to lay, to arrange, to join), conveying the idea of bringing parts into a single unit. Related terms include samlagning, referring to addition or merger, and samlagður, the masculine form meaning “joined.” The root appears in other Icelandic words connected to joining, combining, or uniting.

Notes: samlögð functions as a standard grammatical form in Icelandic and does not carry a specialized technical sense beyond its general meaning of being merged or combined. Its exact interpretation depends on context, particularly the noun it describes. When translating or interpreting, attention to gender, number, and case ensures correct agreement and readability in Icelandic prose.
