Borrowed from Latin āctus, perfect passive participle of agō (“make, do”). The nude sense is possibly from German Akt.

akt m inan

This noun needs an inflection-table template.

From two different, but related Latin words: 1. āctus (“act, performance”), a noun derived from the verb agō (“make, do”), and 2. ācta (“documents”), the neuter plural of the past participle of the same verb.

akt c (singular definite akten, plural indefinite akter)

akt (genitive akti, partitive akti)

Compare German Akt.

akt (plural aktok)

From Latin āctus (“act, action; performance”), perfect passive participle of agō (“I make, do”), from Proto-Italic *agō (“drive, push; do, act”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éǵeti (“to be driving”), from *h₂eǵ- (“to drive”).

akt f or m (definite singular akta or akten, indefinite plural akter, definite plural aktene)

From German Akt (“act, nude; artwork of a naked person”), from Latin āctus (“act, action; performance”), perfect passive participle of agō (“I make, do”), from Proto-Italic *agō (“drive, push; do, act”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éǵeti (“to be driving”), from *h₂eǵ- (“to drive”).

akt f or m (definite singular akta or akten, indefinite plural akter, definite plural aktene)

From Latin ācta (“acts, transactions; proceedings”), from the verb agō (“I make, do”), from Proto-Italic *agō (“drive, push; do, act”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éǵeti (“to be driving”), from *h₂eǵ- (“to drive”).

akt m (definite singular akten, indefinite plural akter, definite plural aktene)

From Middle Low German ācht, āchte (“lawlessness”), from Old Saxon *āhta, ōht, from Proto-West Germanic *ą̄htu (“persecution”), from Proto-Germanic *anhtō (“persecution”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enḱ- (“fate, destiny”), *h₂enk- (“curve, bend”), perhaps related to *h₂eng- (“curve, bend”), *h₂enǵʰ- (“to constrict”) or *h₂eḱ- (“sharp”).

akt m (definite singular akten, indefinite plural akter, definite plural aktene)

From Middle Low German acht, from Proto-West Germanic *ahtu (“consideration, attention”), possibly from Proto-Germanic *ahjaną (“to think”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₃ekʷ- (“to see; eye”).

akt m (definite singular akten, indefinite plural akter, definite plural aktene)

From Latin actus, acta.

akt f (definite singular akta, indefinite plural akter, definite plural aktene)

From Middle Low German acht.
