Rezané

Rezné is a Czech and Slovak term used as a past participle and adjective derived from the verb řezat / rezať, meaning to cut. It denotes material or objects that have been cut, shaped, or finished by cutting rather than left in an unaltered state. In common usage, rezané describes items such as rezané sklo (cut glass), rezané kovové díly (cut metal parts), or rezané dřevo (cut or sawn wood). The form is typically neuter singular when it modifies a neuter noun, but it agrees with the gender and number of the noun it describes.

Etymology and scope: The word shares its root with the noun řez (a cut, incision) and related terms such as řezba (carving) and řezání (cutting). It is widespread in technical, industrial, and craft contexts to distinguish finished, cut-to-size materials from raw or uncut stock. Rezné can appear in labeling, specifications, and product descriptions, especially in carpentry, glassmaking, metalworking, and construction.

Usage notes: Rezané is not a proper noun and is generally not capitalized unless beginning a sentence. It often implies that the material has undergone a cutting process, as opposed to being shaped by other methods such as carving or molding. While closely related to terms for carving or engraving, rezané specifically emphasizes the action of cutting.
