teguriteks

Teguriteks is an Estonian term used in academic and analytical writing to refer to factors or determinants that contribute to a given outcome. It is formed from the noun tegur, meaning factor or contributor, with the suffix -iteks to indicate a plural or role as factors in a discussion or model. In practice, teguriteks appears when authors enumerate or discuss elements that influence a process, result, or decision.

The term is common in fields such as statistics, risk assessment, social research, and policy analysis, where explanations rely on multiple contributing elements. It helps to organize complex explanations by grouping relevant variables under the concept of factors. Phrases around teguriteks often include noun modifiers like peamised teguriteks (the main factors) or erinevad teguriteks (different factors), as well as contexts that describe how these factors interact or account for observed variation.

Teguriteks is closely related to related Estonian terms such as tegur (factor or contributor), faktor (loanword meaning factor, commonly used in technical writing), and mõjur (influence or determinant). While tegur and faktor can often be used interchangeably in everyday use, teguriteks emphasizes the role of elements as factors within an analytic framework.
