Zestawienie

Zestawienie is a Polish noun, feminine, derived from the verb zestawiać, meaning to place side by side, to assemble, or to compile. In general, zestawienie denotes either the act of combining elements or the product of that act—a compilation, list, or juxtaposition of items, facts, or data.

Common meanings and uses include:

- Compilation or list: a collection of items, data, or information presented together. Examples include zestawienie danych (a data compilation) or zestawienie obiektów (a list of objects).

- Comparative or juxtaposed presentation: a side-by-side arrangement used to compare elements, often in the form of a table or structured outline, such as zestawienie porównawcze.

- Synthesis of facts or information: a concise, synthetic presentation of essential points, facts, or conclusions, for instance in a report or article (zestawienie faktów).

In practice, zestawienie is used across disciplines, including journalism, science, economics, and administration. It emphasizes organization and synthesis—whether bringing items together, contrasting two or more datasets, or summarizing key points. It is related to, but distinct from, terms like zestaw (set) or porównanie (comparison). While zestawienie can involve a simple list, it is often associated with structured formats such as tables, charts, or orderly summaries.

Examples:

- Zestawienie kosztów i przychodów w raporcie finansowym.

- Zestawienie wyników badania ujawniło korelacje między zmiennymi.

- W artykule dokonano zestawienia faktów dotyczących zdarzeń z ostatniego miesiąca.
