Napájený

Napájený is a Czech word that translates to "powered" or "supplied" in English. It is a past participle of the verb napájet, which means to supply with a fluid, especially water, or to power something with electricity or another energy source.

In a technical context, napájený is frequently used to describe devices or systems that are receiving electrical current. For instance, a computer might be described as "počítač napájený ze sítě," meaning a "mains-powered computer." Similarly, a battery-operated device could be referred to as "zařízení napájené baterií," or a "battery-powered device." This term is fundamental in describing the energy source of various electrical and electronic equipment.

Beyond the electrical realm, napájený can also refer to the supply of other essential resources. A "louka napájená potokem" would mean a "meadow supplied by a stream." In this sense, it denotes something that is sustained or replenished by a particular source, highlighting its dependence on that source for its existence or function. The context in which the word appears is crucial for understanding its precise meaning.
