väldefinerade

Väldefinerade is a Swedish adjective meaning clearly defined, precise, with unambiguous scope or boundaries. It is used to describe concepts, problems, terms, models, data sets, and criteria that are specified in detail so that there is little or no room for interpretation.

Etymology and form: The term is formed from the modifier väl (well) and definierad (defined), and is used in plural as väldefinerade. It belongs to technical and academic language in Swedish, where compounds with väl are common. The form may vary with gender and number (väldefinerad in singular forms, väldefinerade in plural).

Usage: In mathematics and logic, väldefinerade constructs indicate that the domain and rule determine a unique output or meaning. In research, project planning, and policy, väldefinerade kriterier, mål eller frågor help ensure clarity and replicability. In design, documentation, and requirements engineering, väldefinerade krav specify what must be delivered. In linguistics and philosophy, term definitions are sought to be väldefinerade to avoid ambiguity.

Nuance: Real-world problems are not always easily väldefinerade; overly rigid definitions can exclude subtleties. The term often signals a standard to strive for, rather than a guarantee of perfection. It is commonly used to praise precision in analysis while acknowledging that some domains require flexible, context-aware definitions.
