útskýrast

Útskýrast is an Icelandic verb meaning to be explained, to become clear, or to be elucidated. It is the passive form of the verb "útskýra," which means to explain. The verb is used in a variety of contexts, from academic discussions to everyday conversations, whenever a phenomenon, concept, or situation requires clarification.

For example, one might say "Málið hefur útskýrst" meaning "The matter has been explained" or "The situation has become clear." In a scientific context, a researcher might state that "Niðurstöðurnar útskýrast best með þessari kenningu," which translates to "The results are best explained by this theory." The verb can also be used to describe a gradual process of understanding, where something that was initially confusing becomes understandable over time. The passive nature of útskýrast emphasizes that the explanation or clarification is not necessarily the action of a specific agent, but rather that the understanding or clarity has come about. It often implies a resolution to a previous state of ambiguity or uncertainty.
