tidslegger

Tidslegger is a term formed from the Norwegian elements tids- (time) and legger (one who lays or places). It is not a widely established or dictionary-approved word in standard Norwegian, and its exact meaning can vary by context. In practice, tidslegger may be used informally to refer to a person or a tool that assigns or allocates time within a schedule, but it is more common to use standard terms such as tidplanlegger or tidsplanlegger.

Possible meanings include a) a role in time management or project planning—a person who plans and distributes available time across tasks; b) a software function or component that allocates time slots to activities or timestamps events, effectively serving as a time allocation or scheduling feature; or c) a verb-like usage, to tidslegge, meaning to assign a specific time to something, akin to scheduling or timestamping. Because tidslegger is not commonly codified in dictionaries, its interpretation depends on the domain and the speaker.

Etymology is straightforward, combining tids- with legger, but the term’s presence in formal language is limited. For clear communication, speakers and writers usually prefer established terms such as tidplanlegger, tidsplan, eller tidsregistrering when referring to planning, scheduling, or recording time. In discussions about time management, tidslegger may appear as a provisional or informal label, rather than a fixed linguistic unit.
