Zdefiniowany

Zdefiniowany is a Polish adjective and past participle meaning "defined" or "having been defined." It derives from the verb zdefiniować (to define) and is used to indicate that a person, object, or concept has a definite definition, scope, or set of attributes that has been established by a definition, rule, or specification.

Etymology: The form is built from the root defin-, combined with the prefix z-, and the standard Polish suffix -ony that yields the masculine singular participle zdefiniowany. The corresponding feminine and neuter forms are zdefiniowana and zdefiniowane, respectively, with plural forms zdefiniowani (masculine personal) and zdefiniowane (non-masculine plural). The word is related to definicja (definition) and definiować (to define).

Usage: Common in technical, mathematical, legal, and academic prose. It typically modifies a noun and agrees in gender and number: zdefiniowany zakres (masc. sing.), zdefiniowana definicja (fem. sing.), zdefiniowane parametry (neut./pl.).

Examples: "Zdefiniowany zakres zmiennych ogranicza ich wartości." "Zdefiniowana funkcja zwraca stałą wartość." In English: "The defined range of variables limits their values; The defined function returns a constant value."
