validovatvalidovaný

validovatvalidovaný is a Czech neologism formed by combining the verb validovat (to validate) with its past participle validovaný (validated). The term is used primarily in informal discourse and language play to describe a state in which something has undergone validation and the validation itself has been confirmed, i.e., a meta-validation. It is not part of standard dictionaries and appears mainly in online forums, programming communities, and discussions about naming practices.

Definition and usage

validovatvalidovaný denotes a situation where a data item, form field, or process has been validated and the result of that validation is treated as validated as well. It is a tongue-in-cheek way to emphasize thoroughness or to critique overly verbose or recursive labeling in software or data workflows. The expression can contrast with validovaný (validated) or validovat (to validate), highlighting a difference between performing validation and confirming the reliability of the validation.

Origin and context

The term reflects a productive trend in Czech to form long compound words for emphasis. It tends to appear in humorous, satirical, or light-hearted technical writing rather than formal documentation. As a linguistic novelty, validovatvalidovaný is often cited in discussions about naming conventions and the creativity of language in technical communities.
