tiltrådt
Tiltrådt is a Nordic term used to describe someone who has taken up a position or office, usually in a political or administrative context. It functions as the past participle of the verb tiltræde (Danish) or tiltrede (Norwegian), meaning to step into or assume a role. As an adjective or predicate, tiltrådt denotes that the subject has already begun or completed the act of taking office.
In usage, tiltrådt appears in formal and journalistic language to mark a transition of power or responsibility.
Etymologically, tiltrådte and its forms derive from the idea of stepping into a position, combining til- (into)
While the term is most common in Danish and Norwegian, related forms appear in other Scandinavian languages
