summiert

Summiert is the past participle of the German verb summieren, meaning to add together numbers or to summarize information. The term is used mainly in technical, mathematical, and data-processing contexts. It derives from the concept of summation, and in standard German it is common in more formal or specialized language, while everyday arithmetic often uses addieren or zusammenzählen for the same idea.

In mathematics and statistics, summiert describes the operation of combining a sequence of numbers to obtain a total. For example, one might say that the values were summiert to yield a final sum. In data processing and programming, summiert is frequently used to describe aggregation tasks, such as summing rows in a dataset or accumulating values during a calculation or report generation.

Related terms include Summe, the result of the addition, and Summation, the noun form used in scientific contexts. Addieren is a close synonym and is often preferred in more casual or basic arithmetic usage. The concept is also expressed in mathematical notation with the sigma symbol (Σ), which stands for the process of summation; in German texts the verb summieren is commonly used to describe performing that operation on data.

In practice, German-language software and spreadsheets often implement the same operation with functions like SUMME (the German function name in spreadsheets), which performs the summation of numbers, equivalent to summieren in descriptive language. Overall, summiert denotes the completed action of adding together values or of summarizing information through aggregation.
