vágd

Vägd is a Swedish term linked to the verb väga, which means to weigh. It functions as a participial form related to weighing and can be used as an adjective describing something that has been weighed or that has a certain weight. In contemporary Swedish, the usual past participle for forming perfect tenses with väga is vägt; vägd tends to occur primarily in older texts or in certain regional dialects, where it may appear as an attributive descriptor.

Etymology and cognates follow a common Scandinavian pattern. The verb väga is historically related to other Germanic languages’ words for weighing, with cognates in Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic that reflect similar meanings and development. The form vägd itself reflects older or regional inflectional patterns, even as modern standard Swedish relies more on vägt in many tense constructions.

Usage and context are typically weight- or measurement-related. Vägd can appear in historical or dialectal writings to indicate that an item has undergone weighing, whereas today speakers more often use vägt when discussing completed weighing actions. In practical terms, vägd is a historical or regional variant rather than a daily-use form in standard Swedish.
