tikslus

Tikslus is a term that can refer to several concepts, primarily in the Lithuanian language. Most commonly, "tikslus" translates to "precise," "accurate," or "exact" in English. This adjective is used to describe measurements, statements, actions, or any form of information that is free from error or deviation. For instance, a scientist might aim for a tikslus measurement of a chemical compound, or a historian might seek tikslus details about a past event.

Beyond its literal translation, "tikslus" can also imply a sense of purposefulness or directedness, though this is a less frequent usage. In this context, it might suggest something being done with a clear objective in mind, implying a careful and deliberate approach. However, the predominant understanding of tikslus remains tied to accuracy and precision. The word's etymology traces back to the root "tiksėti," meaning to strike or hit a target, further reinforcing the association with hitting the mark precisely.
