autorski

Autorski is an adjective in the Polish language meaning related to an author or to authorship. It is used to describe things attributed to a particular author or produced by them, emphasizing originality and personal attribution. In everyday language and in professional contexts, autorski can describe works, styles, or content that originate from an identifiable author, as opposed to works that are anonymous or commissioned by others.

The word is formed from the noun autor (author) with the adjectival suffix -ski, following standard Polish derivation. The basic grammatical forms are autorski (masculine singular), autorska (feminine singular), autorskie (neuter singular or plural). For masculine personal plural the form is autorscy, while autorskie is used with non-masculine or plural nouns.

Common contexts include utwór autorski (an original work subject to copyright), prawo autorskie (copyright law), and projekt autorski (an author’s design or project). The term is widely used in publishing, media, research, and legal discussions to signal that content is created by a specific author and not necessarily commissioned or in the public domain.

In summary, autorski designates attribution to an author and the related quality of originality or authorship, and it remains a standard term in Polish linguistics, culture, and law.
