vervolgt

Vervolgt is a Dutch word meaning "pursued" or "followed." It is the past participle of the verb vervolgen, which can mean to pursue, to follow, or to prosecute in a legal sense. As a passive participle, vervolgt can function as an adjective describing someone or something that has been pursued or is under pursuit. The related noun vervolging refers to the act of pursuing, and in legal contexts it is used for prosecutions or, more broadly, persecution.

In everyday language, vervolgen is used for both physical pursuit and legal action. The term appears in legal documents and news reporting to describe criminal prosecutions or investigations, as well as in narrative contexts to convey pursuit or harassment.

Vervolgt also occurs as a title or part of titles in Dutch-language media, including films, books, and television episodes. Because it is a common verb form, it can appear in various media contexts, sometimes in nonliteral or metaphorical senses.

Related terms include vervolgen (to pursue) and vervolging (pursuit or prosecution). The word shares its etymology with volg(en), reflecting the core idea of following or pursuing.
