Katalyzovány

Katalyzovány is a grammatical form used in Czech and Slovak to express that something has undergone catalysis. Specifically, it is the plural past passive participle of the verb katalyzovat, meaning to catalyze. As a participle, katalyzovány can function as an adjective in passive constructions, describing substances, reactions, or processes that have been accelerated by a catalyst. It is commonly found in scientific and technical writing, where passive voice is often preferred.

Etymology and related terms: The word derives from the verb katalyzovat, which itself comes from the noun katalýza (catalysis). The broader term family includes katalyzátor (catalyst), katalyzace (catalysis), and the root related to the Greek concept of catalysis. The form katalyzovány is the masculine plural past passive participle; other gender and number forms exist (for example, katalyzována, katalyzováno) to agree with different nouns.

Usage notes: In practice, katalyzovány appears in contexts describing processes or reactions that were facilitated by a catalyst. Its use is largely limited to languages with Slavic grammar, particularly in technical, chemical, and scientific prose. As with other participles, it can appear predicatively (as part of a passive predicate) or attributively (modifying a noun).
