Diskutovaná

Diskutované is a past passive participle used in Czech and Slovak to describe something that has been the subject of discussion. It functions as an adjective and is used to modify nouns to indicate that they have already been considered in a discussion, debate, or negotiation. Common collocations include diskutované téma (the discussed topic) and diskutované body (the debated points). It can appear in attributive position (diskutované téma) or predicative constructions (téma bylo diskutované).

Morphology: Diskutované is formed from the verb diskutovat in Czech or diskutovať in Slovak, meaning to discuss. As a past participle, it agrees with the noun in gender and number, so its ending changes accordingly in full sentences.

Etymology: The verb is a borrowing from Western European languages, often traced to the French discuter or Latin discutere, transmitted into Czech and Slovak through historical contact with other languages.

Usage note: The word signals that the matter has already been addressed in discussion, which can affect how it is presented in reporting, analysis, or argumentation.
