Uruchom

Uruchom is the imperative form of the Polish verb uruchomić, meaning to start, launch, or activate. As a command, uruchom is used to instruct someone to initiate an action, typically in informal speech addressing a single person. It appears in instructions and safety notes, for example: Uruchom komputer, Uruchom program, or Uruchom usługę.

Etymology and meaning. The verb uruchomić combines the prefix u- with the root ruch, related to movement, yielding the sense of putting something into motion. The imperative uruchom reflects the second-person singular form and is commonly followed by the object being started or activated.

Usage. The term is widely employed across domains. In computing, it describes starting software, services, or processes. In mechanical contexts, it can refer to starting an engine or device. The related noun uruchomienie denotes the act or result of starting, while uruchamianie refers to the process of starting something, such as software in development or system boot.

Polish-language interfaces. In computer interfaces and operating systems localized in Polish, Uruchom serves as the label for the Run command, a function that opens a dialog to execute programs or commands (for example, via the Run dialog accessed by Windows+R). The word is commonly seen in manuals, tutorials, and user guidance as a concise directive to begin an action.
