uppgjort

Uppgjort is a term used in Swedish and Norwegian to describe something that has been settled, resolved, or reconciled. As a past participle derived from the verb uppgöra (to determine, settle, or finalize), uppgjort functions as an adjective that can modify nouns referring to financial accounts, debts, disputes, or agreements. In official and administrative contexts, it signals that a process is finished and the relevant figures or obligations are no longer open or unsettled.

Etymology and linguistic notes indicate that uppgjort stems from the prefix upp- (up, up to completion) combined with a form of göra/gjøre (to do). The corresponding cognate forms appear in Norwegian as oppgjort, and in Swedish usage the form uppgjort is common in formal writing and documents. The word is most often encountered in accounting, legal settlements, and procedural reports, where it denotes that accounts have been balanced, disputes resolved, or settlements concluded.

Usage and nuance: uppgjort implies finalization and closure. It is typically used in phrases describing balances, settlements, or determinations that have been completed. While the core sense is stable across Nordic usage, local variations in spelling and collocations reflect standard language differences between Swedish and Norwegian.

See also: uppgörelse (settlement or agreement) and oppgjør (Norwegian for settlement). In modern Nordic administrative language, uppgjort and its cognates communicate that an obligation, claim, or calculation has been concluded.
