cíleném

Cíleným is the instrumental singular form of the Czech adjective cílený, meaning "targeted" or "aimed." It describes an action, method, or outcome that is directed at a specific target or objective, conveying a sense of precision or selectivity. The adjective and its participial form derive from cílit ("to aim") and cíl ("goal" or "target").

In usage, cíleným modifies masculine nouns in the instrumental case, for example cíleným útokem ("by a targeted attack") or cíleným marketingem ("through targeted marketing"). It is also used in broader contexts to denote deliberate, audience- or goal-directed approaches, such as cíleným výzkumem or cíleným postupem, depending on grammar.

Contexts include security, advertising, public policy, and journalism, where "cíleným" signals a departure from general or indiscriminate action toward a selective, goal-oriented tactic. Related terms are cílení (targeting) and cílený (targeted). Common synonyms include zaměřený (focused); antonyms include náhodný (random) and obecný (general).
