chorobného

Chorobného is a Czech adjective that translates to "morbid" or "sickly" in English. It is used to describe something that is related to illness, disease, or poor health. The term can be applied to a person, a condition, or even a state of mind.

For example, one might refer to "chorobného stavu" which means a morbid or sickly state, indicating a decline in health. Similarly, "chorobného zájmu" could describe a morbid fascination or an unhealthy interest in something disturbing or unpleasant. The adjective often carries a negative connotation, suggesting something unhealthy, abnormal, or even repulsive due to its connection with disease or decay.

In a broader sense, "chorobného" can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is pathologically excessive or unhealthy in a non-literal way, such as a chorobného pesimismu (morbid pessimism). Its core meaning, however, remains tied to the realm of sickness and ill-health. The word is derived from the Czech noun "choroba," which means "illness" or "disease."
