Generický

Generický refers to something that is not specific or unique, but rather representative of a whole class or category. In various contexts, it implies a lack of distinct characteristics, often suggesting a standard or common form.

In medicine, a generic drug is a pharmaceutical product that is equivalent to a brand-name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics, and intended use. Generic drugs are typically made available after the patent protection for the original brand-name drug expires. They are often sold at a lower price than their brand-name counterparts.

In computing, a generic type or method is one that is parameterized by a type or types. This allows for code to be written that can operate on different data types without needing to be rewritten for each specific type. This promotes code reusability and flexibility.

In general language use, "generický" can describe anything that is a typical example or a standard version. For instance, a generic email might be one that is sent to a large group of people without personalized content. A generic comment might be a vague or unoriginal statement. The term often carries a connotation of being unremarkable or lacking in individuality.
