arbitrowy

Arbitrowy is a Polish adjective meaning related to an arbiter or arbitration. It is formed from the noun arbiter (or arbitrator) with the suffix -owy and is used to describe things connected with an arbiter, an arbitral proceeding, or the arbiter’s role. In contemporary practice, arbitrowy is uncommon and largely superseded by more standard terms such as arbitralny (relating to arbitration) or arbitrażowy (pertaining to arbitration). As a result, arbitrowy tends to appear mainly in older texts, regional usage, or certain specialized writings.

In legal language the preferred terms are arbitralny and arbitrażowy, for example in phrases like postępowanie arbitralne or orzeczenie arbitralne. In other contexts, such as sports or governance, the more idiomatic Polish descriptors are sędziowski (referee-related) or simply arbiter/arbiterstwa in noun form. Arbitrowy may still be found in historical documents or in stylistic registers where authors retain archaisms or aim for a precise link to the arbiter’s authority.

Etymology: arbitrowy derives from arbiter, the Latin-based root for arbitrator, with the Polish adjective-forming suffix -owy. Related terms include arbiter, arbitralny, and arbitrażowy, which cover most modern uses in law and formal writing.
