Zádový

Zádový is a term that can refer to several things, primarily related to the back in Slavic languages. In Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian, "zádový" (or variations like "zadnji") directly translates to "back" or "rear." This can be applied in various contexts. For instance, "zádový sval" would mean "back muscle," referring to the musculature of the torso. "Zádový pohon" translates to "rear-wheel drive" in the context of vehicles, indicating that the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels.

The word can also describe something situated at the back. In architecture, a "zádový múr" might refer to a rear wall. In anatomy, it's consistently used to denote structures located on or related to the back. The grammatical form "zádový" is an adjective, and its declension would change depending on the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies in these languages. It's a common and straightforward descriptive term used in everyday language and technical contexts.
