== German == === Etymology === First attested in the 15th century as undersuochen. This form suggests it already existed in Middle High German.

Equivalent to unter- +‎ suchen. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ʊntərˈzuːxən/, [ʔʊn.tɐˈzuː.xn̩] (Germany) IPA(key): /ʊntɛrˈsuːxɛn/, [ʔʊn.tɐˈsuː.xn̩] (Austria) Hyphenation: un‧ter‧su‧chen === Verb === untersuchen (weak, third-person singular present untersucht, past tense untersuchte, past participle untersucht, auxiliary haben) to examine, investigate (inspect or study carefully in order to reach a conclusion) ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== Untersuchen, Untersucher, Untersuchung ==== Descendants ==== → Danish: undersøge === Further reading === “untersuchen”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[3] (in German) “untersuchen” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon “untersuchen” in Duden online “untersuchen” in OpenThesaurus.de
