Prognozowy

Prognozowy is an adjective in the Polish language meaning related to a forecast or prognosis. It derives from prognoza (forecast) and the verb prognozować (to forecast). The word is used to describe things associated with predicting future states, such as models, data, or analyses.

Common usage includes phrases such as model prognozowy, dane prognozowe, analiza prognozowa, scenariusz prognozowy, and wskaźnik prognozowy. It appears in fields where forecasting is central, including meteorology, economics, epidemiology, and data science, as well as in clinical contexts when forecasts of outcomes are discussed. In everyday technical writing, prognozowy often contrasts with descriptively current or retrospective terms to emphasize forward-looking or predictive aspects.

Distinctions: In medical terminology, prognosis is often expressed with the adjective prognostyczny; prognozowy tends to be more general or used in technical contexts to denote forecast-related content rather than clinical prognosis. The exact choice of term can vary by field and author.

Grammar notes: prognozowy agrees with gender and number in Polish (prognozowy, prognozowa, prognozowe).
