Spoutjící

Spoutjící is a neologistic term encountered in some Czech-language texts that functions as a present participle adjective meaning “spouting” or “spewing.” It is not part of standard Czech dictionaries and is not widely attested in formal writing. The form suggests creation from a hypothetical verb root spout- (to spout, to eject), using the common Czech suffix -jící to form an active participle. In practice, spoutjící is most often found in descriptive or creative contexts where an author wants to emphasize a continuous act of ejecting a jet of liquid, gas, or flame.

Because spoutjící is not a established lexical item, its precise meaning depends on context. It can be used to describe natural phenomena, such as a geyser or vent that is actively spouting, or technical and literary imagery that involves jets or discharges. Examples in hypothetical usage include phrases like spoutjící gejzír (a geyser that is actively ejecting water and steam) or spoutjící výtok (an outlet that is spurting). The interpretation relies on surrounding words to convey the intended substance and force of the spout.

In terms of linguistic usage, spoutjící illustrates how Czech can form participles from borrowed or newly coined roots and attach the standard -jící ending. However, its lack of official status means readers may encounter it as creative or informal language rather than as a stable, widely used term. When clarity is important, speakers typically opt for established alternatives such as vytryskující or tryskající.
