synliggør

Synliggör is a Swedish verb meaning to make something visible or to bring something into view. It is used both in a literal sense, such as making a physical feature visible, and in a figurative sense, such as revealing data, processes, or underlying patterns to an audience. The term is common in contexts where clarity, transparency, or accessibility of information is important, including research, public administration, journalism, and data visualization.

Grammatical notes: the infinitive is synliggöra. Present tense is synliggör. Past tense is commonly synliggjorde, with the supine form synliggjort used in perfect constructions (har synliggjort). The passive present form is synliggörs. A related noun is synliggörande, referring to the process or act of making visible, and synlighet refers to visibility more generally.

Usage and nuance: synliggör is often used when attention is drawn to previously hidden or opaque aspects of a topic. It implies not only seeing something but also communicating or making it accessible to others, such as stakeholders, readers, or the public. In data work, it can describe the act of presenting results in a way that clarifies relationships and implications rather than merely displaying numbers.
