Indukovaným

Indukovaným is a Czech grammatical form, the instrumental singular masculine form of the participle or adjective indukovaný, derived from the verb indukovat meaning to induce or cause. The term is used to describe something that has been brought about or caused by a particular inducer or stimulus. As a participial adjective, indukovaný agrees with a masculine noun in case, number, and gender, and its instrumental form indukovaným appears when the noun it modifies is in the instrumental case or when used in predicative constructions with certain verbs.

Usage and contexts

Indukovaným appears mainly in formal, scientific, and technical writing. It is common in biology, medicine, chemistry, physics, and related fields to characterize processes, changes, or states that were brought about by an external or internal stimulus. It can be contrasted with spontaneous or endogenous changes, described by terms such as spontánní or endogenní.

Examples

Indukovaným podnětem byl chemický stimul. Změny pozorované v experimentech byly indukovány indukčním podnětem, nikoli náhodou. V biomedicínských studiích se hovoří o indukovaných změnách, pokud byly vyvolány specifickým stimulem.

Etymology and related terms

The Czech word indukovat comes from Latin inductus, via the term induction in Czech (indukce). Related forms include indukce (induction) and indukovaný (induced). The term is distinct from vyvolaný (caused by a trigger) and from spontaneousní equivalents.
