uitvloeiende

Uitvloeiende is a Dutch adjective meaning flowing outward or outflowing. It is used to describe liquids, gases, or other substances that move away from a source, as well as metaphorical phenomena such as ideas or emotions that emanate from a center. The term is formed from the prefix uit- (out) and the verb vloeien/vloeien (to flow). In standard usage it typically appears before the noun it modifies, for example: de uitvloeiende rivier, uitvloeiende water.

In scientific and technical contexts uitvloeiende can describe natural processes where material leaves a source and spreads outward, such as water exiting a basin or lava that advances away from a vent. In literary or everyday language it may appear in a metaphorical sense, describing outward expression of emotions, thoughts, or influences.

Grammatical notes: uitvloeiende functions as an attributive adjective and agrees with the noun it describes in number and, to a lesser extent, gender as in Dutch agreement patterns. The form can stand at the head of a noun phrase and is commonly used in both singular and plural constructions.

Related terms include the verb uitvloeien (to flow out) and the noun form uitvloeiing or, in some contexts, uitstroom, referring to the act or result of outward flow. The root concept connects to other Dutch terms describing movement of liquids or fluids away from a source.
