uitlevert

Uitlevert is the present tense, third-person singular form of the Dutch separable verb uitleveren, meaning to hand over, deliver, or disclose. In standard Dutch the verb is separable, so the finite form is split in main clauses as hij levert uit, not a single word such as uitlevert.

Etymology and senses: The prefix uit- adds an outward or complete sense to leveren (to deliver). The core meanings are (a) handing over a person or object to another party, for example to law enforcement or a court (extradition or voluntary surrender), and (b) disclosing or providing information or data to someone who is authorized to receive it.

Usage notes: In legal and administrative language, uitleveren and the noun uitlevering are common terms. In data-sharing contexts, iemand gegevens uitleveren means to provide data upon request, subject to privacy and other rules. The reflexive form zich uitleveren means to surrender oneself to authorities, as in De verdachte levert zich uit aan de politie. In everyday language, the separable verb is typically written with the particle split (hij levert uit), rather than as a single word.

Related terms: uitlevering (the act of handing over or extradition), uitleveren (to hand over or disclose), informatieverstrekking (information provision).
