Etabloval

Etabloval is the masculine singular past tense form of the verb etablovat in Czech and Slovak, meaning “he established” or “he set up.” It is used to describe the act of founding an institution, creating a rule, or arranging a physical presence. In practice, it appears in formal writing, historical narratives, and biographical or legal contexts when referring to a person who established something.

Etymology and cognates: The verb etablovat is borrowed into Czech and Slovak from German etablieren and French établir (to establish), with roots tracing to Latin stabilis “firm, stable.” The Czech and Slovak verb forms follow the common Slavic pattern with the suffix -ovat/-ovať, and etablovan- serves as a stem for related forms. The past tense masculine form in both languages is etabloval, with gender and number marked in the surrounding sentence.

Usage: In Czech and Slovak, etabloval is used to report that someone or some entity founded, set up, or instituted something, such as a company, department, policy, or presence in a new location. It appears in narratives of achievement, business history, and governmental or organizational announcements. English equivalents include “established” or “set up,” and the word is typically rendered with appropriate tense and agreement to match the subject.
