Asked on March 9, 2021 in Meaning.
What is your first reaction to ‘filtrated’? In a chemical context, ‘filtrate’ is a noun, meaning what comes out of the filter. If being ‘filtrated’, instantly makes me suspicious of the speaker’s credentials. But that’s a typo.
My Old Webster’s lists under the verb filter… ‘n filter, cf filterate’. Go figure.
In some other field, there might be a process something like “infiltration”, where filtrated describes some subtle property of the thing, rather than simply that it has been filtered. What is the FLITTERED K TIME?
To answer which is the correct term in the context of ‘filtered K theory’ requires first that you know what ‘filtered k theory’ actually is. Are the k groups filtered? Is there any good reason to describe them as ‘filtrated’?
If you only use Google to find the most popular search options, why is it
so bad for science?

What is Annotated Data. What do you mean by more detail in detail? Is noting first what comes to mind when you hear “annotated”? On second thought, ‘details’ could be pretty vague, for an interface offering useful information about your object. For instance, if the details are actually specifications, say, speed, size, and dimensions, then your word should indicate that.
