Demonstraci

Demonstraci is not a standalone English term; rather, it appears as a form of a word meaning demonstration in several languages. Its precise meaning depends on language and grammatical context, so it functions more as a case form or inflection than as a fixed lexeme.

In Czech and Slovak, the noun for a public demonstration is demonstrace. The word form demonstraci can appear as a locative or dative/genitive form in sentences, for example in phrases like "na demonstraci" (at the demonstration). In Polish, the corresponding noun is demonstracja, with demonstracji serving as the genitive singular in constructions such as "of the demonstration" or after prepositions.

Outside Slavic languages, similar roots give rise to other cognates: in English the related word is demonstration; in Spanish, demonstración; in Portuguese, demonstração; all referring to a showing, a protest, or a formal proof, depending on context. In mathematical and philosophical use, demonstration often means a formal proof that a proposition is true, while in political contexts it can refer to a public protest or rally.

Etymology traces demonstraci back to Latin demonstratio, meaning a showing or proof, from demonstrare, to show. The form appears in various languages as a stem or inflected ending, rather than as an independent term with a single universal definition.

Because demonstraci is highly context-dependent, it is best understood by examining surrounding words and the specific language in which it appears. See also demonstration, demonstración, demonstração, demonstracja, and related terms for the broader concept across languages.
