Modyfikowane

Modyfikowane is a Polish adjective formed from the verb modyfikować, meaning to modify, alter or tailor. The term is used to describe something that has been changed from its original form to suit a purpose, adapt to conditions, or reflect new information. Etymologically, it derives from the Latin modificare, through the Polish development of the word modyfikować.

In everyday language, modyfikowane describes a wide range of altered things, from objects and processes to ideas and practices. In science and technology, it often appears in contexts such as modyfikowane oprogramowanie (modified software) or modyfikowane dane (modified data), where changes may be intentional, authorized updates or experimental adjustments. In biology and agriculture, the phrase is closely associated with organisms or crops that have been altered, for example modyfikowane genetycznie rośliny or organizm modyfikowany genetycznie, a term linked to the broader discussion of GMOs (genetically modified organisms).

In industry and consumer products, modyfikowane versions or models indicate variants produced to meet specific requirements or markets, such as modyfikowane wersje produktów or modyfikowane modele pojazdów. In culinary and cultural contexts, it can describe adapted recipes, traditions, or practices, as in modyfikowana receptura or modyfikowana tradycja.

Grammatically, modyfikowane is the neuter singular or plural form of the past participle used as an adjective, agreeing with the noun it modifies. The term functions as a general descriptor across domains, without prescribing a particular method of modification.
