Pierwszorzdnych

Pierwszorzdnych is not a standard entry in contemporary Polish dictionaries. It appears to be a nonstandard form, most likely a misspelling or OCR/readability variant of pierwszorędnych, the genitive plural of pierwszorędny. The latter adjective is used to mean “first-rate” or “of the first order,” i.e., top-tier or principal in quality, importance, or rank. Because classic Polish adjectives inflect for gender, number, and case, the exact spelling and form of such terms can vary in non-authoritative texts, leading to forms like pierwszorzdnych in mistaken contexts.

Etymology and meaning: pierwszorędny presumably combines pierwszy (first) with a suffix deriving from rząd, rank or order, yielding a sense of primary status or high priority. In standard usage, the uninflected base would be pierwszorędny, with inflected forms used in sentences (e.g., pierwszorządny to describe a masculine subject; pierwszoszędne in neuter, etc.). The core idea is hierarchy or quality: something of the first rank, foremost importance, or high quality.

Usage: In proper Polish, one would expect forms derived from pierwszorędny rather than the unrecognized pierwszorzdnych. When encountered in texts, pierwszorzdnych is usually a mistake, a regionalism, or a typographical error. Correct alternatives are pierwszorędny (adj., meaning first-rate) or its declined forms, and phrases such as “word for first-rate quality” or “znaczenie pierwszorządne.”
