Paskowy

Paskowy is a Polish adjective meaning striped or banded, used to describe objects or patterns that feature stripes or parallel bands of color or material. It is commonly applied to textiles and decorative arts, such as striped fabrics (tkanina paskowa), wallpapers, or patterned ceramics, as well as to heraldic and architectural motifs that include bands or divisions.

Etymology and form: paskowy is derived from the noun pas, meaning stripe or belt, with the adjectival suffix -owy to indicate characteristic belonging. The term thus literally conveys “having stripes” or “stripe-patterned.” It is part of standard Polish descriptive vocabulary and can be used in both everyday and technical contexts.

Usage notes: paskowy describes a visible, patterned quality (the presence of stripes) rather than a plain or uniform surface. It can appear in descriptions of clothing, interior design, and graphic or heraldic designs. While common in Polish, the term is typically restricted to contexts where a striped pattern is a defining feature of the subject.
