Varnostjo

Varnostjo is the instrumental singular form of the Slovenian noun varnost, meaning safety or security. The term encompasses protection from harm and the condition of being safe, including personal safety, public safety, and the security of systems, information, or premises. Etymologically, varnost derives from the Slovenian verb varovati (to guard, protect) with the abstract-noun suffix -nost, and it has related adjectives and adverbs such as varnostni (security-related) and varnostno (safely). In Slovenian grammar, varnostjo is used to express means or instrument—the way safety is achieved—often appearing in formal, technical, and legal texts to describe safety measures, protections, or methodologies. The concept of varnost is widely used across domains such as transportation, industry, data protection, and public administration, and it is often contrasted with related ideas such as zavarovanje (insurance) and zaščita (protection).
