Wyrosych

Wyrosych is a Polish form derived from the verb wyrosnąć, meaning to grow up or to grow tall. In dictionaries it is encountered as a participial/adjectival form that conveys completion of growth or maturation. The term is most often discussed in relation to other related forms such as wyrośnięty (the more common modern adjective meaning grown or mature) and the different case endings that a participle or adjective of this type can take.

In standard contemporary Polish, the most common descriptors for something that has reached maturity are wyrośnięty for masculine subjects, wyrośnięta for feminine, and wyrośnięte for neuter or plural. The form wyrosych appears infrequently and is typically described as archaic, stylistically marked, or dialectal; it may be found in older literary texts or regional speech. When present, it functions as an adjective or participle agreeing with a noun, signaling that the noun has already grown or matured.

Semantically, wyrosych carries a sense of completed development and often a degree of solidity, sturdiness, or adulthood. In practice, modern Polish more commonly uses wyrośnięty or other synonyms like dojrzały to express the same idea, while wyrosych remains a historical or regional variant for readers and speakers encountering older or dialectal forms.
