citovaný

Citovaná is a Czech feminine singular form of the past passive participle citovaný, derived from the verb citovat (to cite, to quote). In usage, it functions as an adjective or participle and indicates that a noun has been cited or quoted in a text. It agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case, and its other forms include citovaný (masculine), citované (neuter or plural), and citovaná in feminine singular.

In practical terms, citovaná is commonly found with feminine nouns in scholarly and journalistic writing. Examples include citovaná práce (the cited work), citovaná pasáž (the quoted passage), citovaná studie (the cited study). In plural, sentences may read citované práce or citované kapitoly, depending on the gender and number of the noun. The phrase citovaná literatura or literatura citovaná is used to refer to the set of sources that were cited in the work.

Etymology traces citovaná to citovat, which in turn comes from Latin citare to cite or summon. The term is widely used in bibliographies and academic texts to distinguish sources that have been explicitly cited from other materials. While primarily a formal, technical term, citovaná can also appear in broader prose whenever a quoted or cited source is described.
