Wzrostu

Wzrostu is the genitive singular form of the Polish noun wzrost, meaning growth, increase, or height. It denotes the process or result of becoming larger, or a measurable increase, and is widely used in both technical and everyday language. The noun wzrost is derived from the verb wzrastać (“to rise”) and appears in Polish with the suffix -ost- to form an abstract noun of process.

As a grammatical form, wzrostu occurs whenever the genitive singular is required. It frequently appears in constructions with numerals and adjectives, and in noun phrases describing rates and degrees, such as tempo wzrostu PKB (GDP growth rate), tempo wzrostu inflacji, or wysokość wzrostu cen. In biology and medicine, it can refer to growth metrics, for example tempo wzrostu roślin, wzrostu organizmu, or analiza wzrostu pacjenta. In demographic and social statistics, phrases like tempo wzrostu ludności or tempo wzrostu populacji are common.

The term is not a proper noun; it is used across domains to refer to the concept of growth rather than to a specific entity. In dictionaries, wzrostu is listed as the genitive form of wzrost, with wzrost as the base noun. Related terms include rozwój (development) and zwiększenie (increase).
