táknaður

Táknaður is an Icelandic adjective and past participle meaning “tagged” or “marked.” It is used to describe items, data, or concepts that have received a label, marker, or identifier in a given context. The term is formed from the verb tákna (to mark, denote) and the participial suffix -ður, which yields a masculine singular form; like other participles it inflects for gender and number to agree with the noun it modifies.

In practical use, táknaður appears in contexts such as data labeling, inventory systems, archival cataloging, and software interfaces to indicate that an element has been identified or annotated. It can also be employed in general descriptive language to denote that something has been marked or designated during a procedure or process.

The word is part of a broader family of Icelandic terms related to marking and signs, including tákn (sign, symbol) and táknun (notation, signaling). As with other participles used as adjectives, táknaður functions as a descriptive attribute and follows standard Icelandic agreement rules with the noun it describes.

See also: tákn, táknun, merki (mark). References for táknaður can be found in Icelandic dictionaries and corpora that document participial adjectives formed from the verb tákna.
