angelegt
put on · set up · lay out
Etwas wurde erstellt, aufgebaut oder vorbereitet, meist mit einem bestimmten Zweck.
The German word "angelegt" is a past participle of the verb "anlegen", which means "to invest", "to apply", "to attach", or "to lay out". The root verb is "legen", meaning "to lay".
"Angelegt" often describes something that has been created, invested, or arranged (e.g., "ein Konto angelegt" — an account opened).
Similar words include:
- erstellen (to create),
- vorbereiten (to prepare),
- einrichten (to set up).
Difference:
Unlike "erstellen" or "vorbereiten", which are more general terms for creation or preparation, "angelegt" often implies purpose and intention behind the action, especially in financial or structural contexts (investing money, designing a garden).
