úthlutuð

úthlutuð is an Icelandic term used as the past participle of the verb úthluta, meaning to distribute or allocate. As an adjective, it describes something that has been allocated or distributed by an authority, such as funds, prizes, or resources. The word is common in official, administrative, and parliamentary language, where decisions to allocate budgets or assets are recorded.

In usage, úthlutuð can appear both attributively and predicatively. Examples include úthlutuð fjárveiting (an allocated grant or funding) and fjárveitingin var úthlutuð (the grant was allocated). The form signals that a decision has already been made and the resources have been distributed to a recipient or project. It is typically used in formal contexts, such as government reports, budgets, and press releases, but can also appear in academic or nonprofit documentation when describing allocated measures or assistance.

Etymology and grammar: the word derives from the verb úthluta, meaning to distribute or allocate, with the past participle suffix -ð, yielding úthlutuð. In Icelandic, participles can function as adjectives and must agree with the noun they modify in number and gender, though exact inflection depends on the surrounding grammar.
