Poprzecznego

Poprzecznego is the genitive singular masculine and neuter form of the Polish adjective poprzeczny, which means transverse or crosswise. In Polish, this form is used to describe nouns in a way that indicates orientation or arrangement across or perpendicular to a reference direction. The base adjective is declined according to standard Polish grammar, so poprzecznego appears when the noun it modifies is masculine or neuter and in the genitive case.

In practice, poprzecznego occurs across many technical and scientific terms. For example, in anatomy the phrase mięsień poprzeczny brzucha refers to the transverse abdominal muscle; here poprzeczny is in its masculine nominative form, while poprzecznego appears in the genitive as mięśnia poprzecznego brzucha. In other domains, phrases such as lina poprzeczna (transverse line) or przegroda poprzeczna (transverse septum) show how the term functions to specify crosswise orientation.

Usage notes

- Poprzecznego is specifically the genitive singular form used for masculine or neuter nouns. Other forms (poprzeczny, poprzeczna, poprzeczne) are used for different genders and cases.

- The root poprzecz- is used broadly to denote crosswise or transverse orientation in fields like anatomy, geometry, architecture, and botany.
