Effekt

== German == === Etymology === Learned borrowing from Latin effectus. Attested since the 15th century, in common use since the 17th. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɛˈfɛkt/, [ʔɛˈfɛkt], [ʔe-] === Noun === Effekt m (strong, genitive Effekts or Effektes, plural Effekte) effect Synonyms: Wirkung, Auswirkung ==== Usage notes ==== Wirkung is the more usual and general word. Effekt may suggest notions such as systematic, explainable, intended, positive. For example, Nebenwirkung means “side effect” in general (and especially negative), whereas Nebeneffekt would usually be understood as “additional positive effect”. This is only a tendency, however, and need not hold true in all contexts. ==== Declension ==== ==== Hyponyms ==== Diamantringeffekt Dominoeffekt Dopplereffekt Gravitationslinseneffekt Hebeleffekt Isotopeneffekt Nebeneffekt Regenbogeneffekt Spezialeffekt Überblendeffekt Vorführeffekt ==== Derived terms ==== effektmäßig ==== Related terms ==== Effekterzeugung Effekthascherei ==== Related terms ==== Effekten (“belongings”) === Further reading === “Effekt” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache “Effekt” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “Effekt” in Duden online Effekt on the German Wikipedia.Wikipedia de
