cystický

Cystická is a Czech adjective meaning “relating to a cyst” or “cystic.” It is used to describe nouns associated with cysts in biology, medicine, and anatomy. In Czech, adjectives agree with the gender and number of the noun they modify, so cystická appears as the feminine singular form.

In medical terminology, cystická is common in compound terms. The best‑known example is cystická fibróza, which corresponds to the English term cystic fibrosis. Beyond this, the word can describe cystic features or processes in tissues, organs, or lesions when the matter described is feminine in grammatical gender.

Etymology traces cystická to the noun cysta (cyst), which in turn comes from Greek via Latin. The root cyst- denotes a closed sac or pouch, and the adjectival form cystický/cystický or its feminine counterpart cystická is formed by standard Czech adjective derivation to indicate relation to that cystic structure.

While the exact inflected forms vary with gender and number, the core meaning remains consistent: cystická denotes something related to cysts. It appears primarily in scientific and medical writing, but may also occur in broader biological or anatomical descriptions where cysts are involved.
