Ozbrojených

Ozbrojených is the genitive plural form of the Czech and Slovak adjective ozbrojený, meaning armed. It is used to describe nouns in the genitive plural and indicates that the referred entities are equipped with weapons or belong to an armed group. The basic forms are ozbrojený (masculine singular), ozbrojená (feminine singular) and ozbrojené (neuter singular); the genitive plural form, as in ozbrojených, follows the regular pattern for adjectives in these languages.

In use, ozbrojených typically appears in phrases naming or qualifying large groups or items related to weaponry or military force. Examples include ozbrojených sil (armed forces), ozbrojených jednotek (armed units) or ozbrojených vozidel (armed vehicles). The construction is common in formal, governmental, and media contexts when discussing security, defense, or law enforcement.

Etymology: the word derives from zbraň (weapon) and the verb ozbrojit (to arm), with the prefix o- forming the participial adjective ozbrojený, from which the genitive plural ozbrojených is produced.

See also: zbraň, ozbrojení (the noun form meaning armament), zbrojit (to arm). The form ozbrojených is characteristic of Czech and Slovak grammar, reflecting a shared Slavic pattern for attributive adjectives in genitive plural.
