Technical term used in computing, settings, and configuration contexts to refer to a preset value that is used when no alternative is specified.
The default value for this setting is 'off'.
If the user enters nothing, the default value will be used.
Often translated as 'initial value', which is the value set at the start of a process or program. 既定値 emphasizes a preset standard, while 初期値 focuses on the starting state.
Compound of 既定 (きてい, 'established, predetermined') and 値 (ち, 'value'). The word follows standard Sino-Japanese word formation patterns.
