Indikována

Indikována is a feminine singular past participle of the Czech verb indikovat, used as an adjective in the passive voice to denote that something has been indicated or recommended. It agrees with feminine nouns, for example “indikovaná terapie” (indicated therapy) or “operace byla indikována” (the operation was indicated). In masculine and neuter forms the corresponding participles are “indikován” and “indikováno,” and “indikována” is the feminine form.

Etymology: The verb indikovat is derived from the noun indikace (indication) and ultimately from Latin indicare. In Czech, the term appears primarily in formal, especially medical and bureaucratic language, to express that a procedure, treatment, or measure is warranted or recommended under certain circumstances.

Usage: In medical contexts, “indikována” is used to state that a procedure or treatment is medically indicated for a patient, e.g., “Operace byla indikována kvůli krvácení” or “indikovaná léčba.” In administrative or evaluative texts, it can describe actions that have been indicated or recommended by guidelines or authorities. The feminine form is chosen to agree with the noun it describes.

Notes: The word is a gendered participle and part of a broader set of forms (indikováno, indikován) used to convey the passive sense of indication. While common in formal Czech, everyday speech may substitute with synonyms such as doporučeno or vhodné depending on context.
