Powierony

Powierony is a Polish term functioning as a past passive participle and adjective derived from the verb powierzyć, meaning to entrust or commit to someone’s care or responsibility. It denotes that something has been entrusted to someone, such as a task, responsibility, or object. In contemporary standard Polish, the more common form is powierzony for masculine singular, powierona for feminine, and powierone for neuter; powierony appears less often and is typically found in older texts, formal registers, or stylistic uses.

Usage and context: powierony is used to describe things that have been entrusted or given into someone’s charge. The word belongs to a semantic field that includes delegation, guardianship, and assignment of duties or assets. It is often encountered in descriptions of responsibilities, roles, or assets that are under someone’s custody.

Relation to related terms: powierony is linked to powierzenie (the act of entrusting) and powiernik (trustee or curator). It forms part of a family of expressions around entrusting, alongside related verbs such as powierzyć, powierzać, and zlecić (to commission). In legal or formal language, more precise terminology such as powierzenie and powiernik is commonly preferred, with powierony serving as an attributive form when appropriate to gender and number.
