detect Explanation: Dear Robert, It seems to me that this is only the "germanized" version of the English verb "detect". In today's German many of the English words are taken over through similar transformation. I hope this helps, Mariam |

detect Explanation: I have no resources to substantiate this, but it seems like a Germanized version of the English "detect." |

to detect Explanation: Clearly, this is a typo and should be 'detektieren'. This fits perfectly in the context of the two samples you gave as 'to detect' means 'to uncover' from the Latin 'de' and 'tectum' roof. My assumption is that the typo found its way into these sources as 'detektieren' is somewhat of a Zungenbrecher for some people. The second URL below shows the use of detektieren and sensor.

probably not a typo, but detect seems right to me too Explanation: I thought so at first too, especially since the noun "Detektor" is common in German. There are just too many different hits though on the spelling you gave us for me to believe that all these people, working in various fields, cannot spell or type. In every reference I read, "detect" seemed to be the obvious translation. |

detect Explanation: Looks like someone is letting their dialect substitution of d for t, come through into writing, so not just a simple typo. Apparently Dürer was really Türer, i.e. an occupational surname derived from something to do with doors. He pronounced and wrote it in his dialect - Dürer. |

detect Explanation: Definitely "detect". Actually, the Germanized version of this English word started out as a joke, but now you hear it more and more often. I have used it myself occasionally. |
