Uvàením

Uvàžením is a formal linguistic term used in Czech and Slovak to denote the act of considering or weighing something. It is the instrumental form of the verb uvážiť (Czech) or uvážiť/uvažovať (Slovak), meaning to take into account, to assess, or to weigh. The concept is closely tied to deliberate judgment and careful appraisal, and it often appears in legal, administrative, or scholarly writing to indicate that a decision or assessment was made after careful thought.

Etymology and form: The word derives from the root vážiť (to weigh) with the prefix u- and the noun uváženie or its verb-derived forms. The instrumental form uvážením expresses the manner or means by which something is done, such as “with due consideration” or “by weighing.”

Usage: In texts, uvážením signals that relevant facts, risks, or consequences were weighed before arriving at a conclusion. Examples include legal decisions, policy analyses, or academic evaluations where outcomes are presented as the result of thoughtful weighing of evidence and circumstances. In unaccented or ASCII texts, diacritics may be omitted, producing a variant like uvážením without proper diacritics.

Variants and related terms: The related noun uváženie or uvážení denotes deliberation or consideration, while the verb uvážiť/uvážiť expresses the act of weighing or considering. In different dialects, orthography may vary slightly, but the core meaning remains the same: a careful, deliberate examination.
