Wykaz

Wykaz is a Polish noun meaning a list, register, roster, or inventory. It is commonly used in administrative, legal, and statistical language to denote an enumerated collection of items, persons, or data.

In official contexts, wykaz serves as a heading for a compiled enumeration. Examples include wykaz uprawnionych do określonych świadczeń (list of eligible beneficiaries), wykaz przedmiotów w spisie inwentaryzacyjnym (inventory list), and wykaz danych w rejestrze publicznym (data in a public registry). The termoften appears in government documents, court records, educational administration, and business paperwork to accompany decisions, policies, or datasets.

Etymology and form: The word is native to Polish, linked to the verb wykazać, which broadly means to show or demonstrate; in its nominal form it denotes an organized enumeration rather than a narrative.

Translations and synonyms: In English, wykaz is typically translated as “list,” “register,” or “roster.” Closely related Polish terms include spis (inventory or catalog) and lista (list).

Notes: While wykaz usually refers to formal, compiled listings, the exact meaning can vary with context, ranging from simple inventories to official, legally significant compilations.
