verzweigtes

Verzweigtes is a German adjective meaning "branched" or "having multiple branches." It describes structures, systems, or organic molecules that split into several parts rather than form a single, linear chain. The word derives from the verb verzweigen (to branch) and the noun Zweig (branch). In usage, verzweigtes is the neuter singular form and typically appears before neuter nouns such as verzweigtes Molekül or verzweigtes Netzwerk; other gender and plural forms follow standard German adjective endings.

Common contexts include science and engineering. In chemistry, verzweigtes Molekül refers to a molecule with a branched carbon skeleton, contrasted with a lineare Kette (linear chain). In botany and anatomy, verzweigtes Gewebe or verzweigter Zweig describes tissues or organs with lateral branches. In information technology and network design, verzweigtes Netzwerk describes infrastructures in which data paths split toward multiple endpoints. The term also appears in linguistics and general descriptions: a verzweigtes System or verzweigter Baum.

Grammar and forms: The form verzweigtes is neuter singular; other gender/number forms exist, such as verzweigter and verzweigte, depending on case and article. In practice, it is used as a descriptive adjective before a noun, aligning with standard declension rules.
