The German word "Interpretation" is a noun that means "interpretation" in English, referring to the act of explaining or clarifying the meaning of something, such as a text, artwork, or performance. It is derived from the verb "interpretieren", which means "to interpret".

The difference among these terms lies in their specific connotations:
- "Interpretation" can imply various perspectives or explanations.
- "Deutung" often refers to a more personal or subjective explanation.
- "Auslegung" generally pertains to formal interpretations, especially in legal or academic environments.
