sammanlänkat

Sammanlänkat is a Swedish adjective and past participle used to describe something that is connected to other things by links. It often describes pages, components, or systems that are joined through interconnected hyperlinks, networks, or physical connections. The term emphasizes the state of being linked together.

Etymology: samman- means together, and länka means to link. Together they form sammanlänka, “to interlink.” The participle sammanlänkat is used for neuter or indefinite singular nouns, while sammanlänkad and sammanlänkade are used for other genders or numbers.

Usage: In information technology, web publishing, and networking, sammanlänkat describes interlinked pages, nodes in a network, or modules that rely on each other. It can also describe data structures or systems where components are designed to be connected or dependent on one another. For example, a sammanlänkat webbplats has navigation built from interrelated links, and a sammanlänkat nätverk consists of interconnected devices.

Related terms: sammanlänkning (the act or process of interlinking), hyperlänk (hyperlink), and länkning (linking). In everyday use the term is common in discussions of web design, digital architecture, and network topology, where clear interconnections are a defining feature.
