Compare with
krankheitsbedingt vs krank
sick
Krank describes a person’s state of health. Krankheitsbedingt, on the other hand, does not describe the state itself; it identifies an illness as the cause, for example of an absence or delay. Krankheitsbedingt therefore often refers to the consequence of the illness.
krankheitsbedingt
Leas Abwesenheit bei der Arbeit ist heute krankheitsbedingt.
Lea’s absence from work today is due to illness.
krank
Lea ist krank und kann heute nicht arbeiten.
Lea is sick and cannot work today.
