återkastade

återkastade is a Swedish term that translates to "rebounded" or "cast back" in English. It is a past tense plural form of the verb "återkasta," which means to throw back, cast back, or reflect. The specific meaning of återkastade depends heavily on the context in which it is used.

In a physical sense, återkastade can describe objects being thrown back. For example, a ball might be described as återkastade if it bounced off a surface and returned to the thrower. Similarly, in optics, light can be described as återkastade if it reflects off a surface, such as in a mirror.

Figuratively, återkastade can refer to ideas, criticisms, or emotions being returned or rejected. Someone might say that a suggestion was återkastade, meaning it was not accepted and was effectively sent back to the originator. It can also imply a rejection or dismissal of something that was put forward. The term can also be used in a more general sense to indicate something that has returned to its original state or position after being acted upon.
