biorca

Biorca is a Polish noun that denotes a person who receives something within a given relationship, such as a contract, donation, payment, or other obligation. The term is most common in formal or legal language and is used to identify the recipient or beneficiary of a benefit, due, or service. The feminine form is biorczyni, and the plural is biorcy. The word is derived from the verb brać, meaning to take.

In civil and administrative contexts, a biorca is the party who receives a performance or benefit specified in an agreement or legal act. For example, in a contract, the biorca is the recipient of a payment or the delivered service. In donation or grant procedures, the biorca is the recipient of the funds or goods. The designation helps distinguish the receiver from other participants, such as the dawca (donor) or the obdarowany (gift recipient), depending on the legal framework.

Biorca is often used in official documents, statutes, and contracts to describe the person who is entitled to certain rights or to receive benefits. It may carry a formal nuance and is sometimes interchangeable with more common terms like odbiorca (recipient) in everyday language, though odbiorca emphasizes the act of receiving, often of goods or messages, rather than the broader legal or substantive entitlement implied by biorca.
