útfærð

Útfærð is the feminine singular past participle of the Icelandic verb útfæra, meaning to implement, realize, or carry out. It is used as an adjective to describe something that has been implemented or brought into operation, and it agrees with feminine nouns in number and gender. The masculine form is útfærður and the neuter form is útfært. The related noun útfærsla denotes the act or process of implementing.

In usage, útfærð often appears in technical, administrative, and policy contexts to denote that a design, feature, plan, or system has been developed and put into operation rather than merely proposed. It signals completion or deployment rather than intention.

Etymology-wise, útfærð derives from the verb útfæra, which in turn combines the prefix ú- (out, to completion) with færa (to bring, to carry). The term is common in fields such as software development, project management, and public administration, where precise phrasing distinguishes what has been implemented from what remains in concept or draft.

Examples: Lausun er útfærð. Nýja útgáfan af forritinu er útfærð. In Icelandic, choosing the correct gender form (útfærð for feminine nouns like lausn or útgáfa; útfært for neuter nouns like kerfi) ensures grammatical agreement while communicating that something has been successfully implemented.
