barwionych

Barwionych is the plural past passive participle of the Polish verb barwić, meaning to dye or color. In contemporary Polish, barwionych functions as an adjective or participial modifier describing objects that have undergone dyeing. It is commonly used with nouns referring to materials or items that can be colored, such as fabrics, hair, or fur. For example, barwionych tkanin means dyed fabrics, and barwionych włosów means dyed hair.

The form is inflected to agree with the noun it modifies in gender, number and case. In practice, it is most often encountered in genitive plural or accusative plural phrases, as in barwionych tkanin or barwionych włosów. The usage spans prose, journalism, and descriptive writing to convey that a coloring process has been applied.

Etymology: barwionych derives from the verb barwić ('to dye'), with the suffix that forms past participles. The root barw- is part of a broader set of color-related terms in Polish, linked to words such as barwa (color), barwnik (colorant), and barwny (colorful).
