Predpísaný

Predpísaný is a Slovak word that translates to "prescribed" or "required" in English. It is commonly used in various contexts to denote something that has been officially ordered, recommended, or mandated.

In a medical context, predpísaný refers to a prescription issued by a doctor for medication. For example, "liek predpísaný lekárom" means "medicine prescribed by a doctor." This implies that the medication is to be obtained and used only with a doctor's authorization.

The word can also be used in legal or administrative settings. A "predpísaný postup" would be a "prescribed procedure" or "required protocol," meaning a specific set of steps that must be followed. Similarly, "predpísaná lehota" refers to a "prescribed deadline" or "statutory period," indicating a mandatory timeframe for an action or event.

Beyond formal settings, predpísaný can describe something that is generally expected or standard. For instance, "predpísaná výstroj" might refer to "standard equipment" or "required gear" for a particular activity. The core meaning remains consistent: something that is set forth, either by authority, common practice, or instruction. The specific nuance depends heavily on the surrounding words and the context in which it is used.
