Ustanowiony

Ustanowiony is a Polish adjective and past participle derived from the verb ustanowić, meaning to establish, found, or institute. It describes something that has been established or instituted by a formal act, such as a law, regulation, decree, or organizational act.

Etymology: The word is formed from ustanowić with the participial suffix -ony. In routine use it functions as an adjective or predicative participle and, like other Polish participles, agrees with the noun in gender and number.

Usage: It is used to characterize institutions, offices, rules, or bodies created by an act. Examples include "ustanowiony organ nadzorczy" (an established supervisory body) and "ustawa ustanowiona w 1990 roku" (the law established in 1990).

Grammatical notes: As a past participle, ustanowiony behaves like an adjective and inflects for gender and number (e.g., ustanowiony, ustanowiona, ustanowione). It is common in legal and administrative language to distinguish between what is ustanowiony (established) and what is not.

Related terms: Related notions include ustanowienie (establishment) and ustanowić (to establish), which appear in similar legal and institutional contexts.
