ceramiczn

Ceramiczn is not a standalone entry in standard Polish dictionaries. It functions as the stem of the adjective ceramiczny, which means ceramic or related to ceramics. In everyday Polish, ceramiczny forms are inflected to agree with gender and number (for example ceramiczny materiał, ceramiczna glina, ceramiczne naczynia).

Etymology and scope. The root ceram- comes from the international family of terms for pottery and ceramics, tracing back through Latin ceramicus to the Greek keramikos. The Polish adjective ceramiczny reflects this heritage and is used to describe objects, materials, or processes connected with ceramics.

Usage. In Polish, ceramiczny describes a wide range of items, from consumer goods to technical materials. Examples include naczynia ceramiczne (ceramic dishes), sprzęt ceramiczny (ceramic equipment), and ceramika artystyczna (artistic ceramics). The term also appears in technical and industrial contexts, such as ceramika techniczna or materiały ceramiczne, referring to ceramic materials used for their hardness, heat resistance, or electrical properties.

Relation to related terms. The noun ceramika denotes the field and products of ceramics, including pottery, porcelain, glazes, and ceramic composites. Porcelain (porcelana) is a specific subset within ceramics. In engineering and science, the broader category of ceramic materials encompasses both traditional pottery ceramics and advanced ceramics used in electronics, aerospace, and energy applications.
