Ugruntowanej

Ugruntowanej is a feminine singular grammatical form in Polish. It is the genitive, dative, or locative case of the adjective ugruntowana, which means rooted or ingrained. The form is used with feminine nouns to describe something that is deeply established, often in cultural, social, or institutional contexts. For example, in phrases like w ugruntowanej tradycji (in an ingrained tradition) or w ugruntowanej praktyce (in ingrained practice).

In usage, ugruntowanej conveys a sense of deep, longstanding establishment rather than a casual habit. It is common in formal, descriptive, or analytical writing when discussing norms, values, or procedures that have become part of a system or culture.

Etymology and sense: ugruntowana derives from the verb ugruntować, which means to root or anchor something. It, in turn, comes from grunt (ground), used metaphorically to indicate something firmly fixed in place or habit.

Therefore, ugruntowanej specifically appears as the genitive, dative, or locative singular form, as in ugruntowanej tradycji.
