Ledczego

Ledczego is not a recognized standard Polish word. In most references, the closest attested form is śledczego, the genitive singular of the noun śledczy meaning investigator or detective. The form ledczego may appear as a misspelling or a diacritic-omitting variant in non-diacritic texts.

Śledczy refers to a person who conducts investigations, typically within police or public prosecutor’s offices. In legal and journalistic language, śledczy is used to denote the investigator or to describe actions and documents connected with investigation, for example in phrases such as akt śledczy (investigative file) and śledczy prowadzi postępowanie (the investigator conducts the proceedings).

Etymology and usage notes: the word derives from śledzić (to track, to follow) and śledztwo (investigation). The genitive form śledczego is used to express possession or relation, for instance w aktach śledczych and in descriptions of investigative work. Modern standard Polish consistently uses the form śledczy with the diacritic, and ledczego is not listed as a standard lemma in authoritative dictionaries.

In summary, ledczego is likely a nonstandard or erroneous variant of śledczego. The correct term in contemporary Polish is śledczego as the genitive of śledczy, meaning pertaining to or belonging to an investigator, and the form śledczego appears in contexts involving investigation and investigative proceedings.
