Wstawione

Wstawione is a Polish adjective formed as the past passive participle of the verb wstawić (to insert) or its imperfective counterpart wstawiać. It denotes that an item has been inserted, placed inside, or added to something. In practical use it can describe objects, data, or content that has been placed into a larger whole, such as a document, a webpage, or a software interface.

In grammar, wstawione agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies: masculine singular wstawiony; feminine singular wstawiona; neuter singular and plural forms are typically wstawione. Examples: wstawione zdjęcie (an inserted image); wstawione dane (inserted data). The form is commonly used when referring to elements that have been added during editing, processing, or composition.

Contexts and usage: The term is frequent in editing, publishing, and computing, where content is described as inserted or embedded. Examples include: “Wstawione zdjęcie ilustruje artykuł,” meaning the inserted photo illustrates the article; “Wstawione dane mogą być niepoprawne,” indicating the inserted data may be incorrect; and “Wstawione elementy interfejsu” referring to inserted interface elements. The word can also appear in everyday language to describe items that have been added to a collection or document.

Etymology and related forms: Wstawione derives from the prefix w- attached to the verb stawić, via wstawić, meaning to insert or place. Related terms include wstawianie (the act of inserting) and wstawienie (the insertion event or result). The term is widely understood across Polish-speaking domains, including journalism, IT, and office work.
