drukowa

Drukowa is a form in the Polish language that functions as a feminine singular adjective. It is the feminine form of drukowy, meaning "printing" or "related to printing." In Polish, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify, so drukowa appears before feminine nouns such as maszyna (drukowa maszyna – "printing machine"), farba drukowa ("printing ink"), or technika drukowa ("printing technology").

Besides its grammatical use, drukowa can also appear in toponymy as a place-name element. When capitalized as Drukowa, it may denote a village, settlement, or street name in Poland or in areas with Polish heritage. Such naming often reflects historical associations with printing trades, publishers, or printing facilities once located in the area.

Etymology and formation: the form derives from the noun druk (print) and the common adjectival suffix -owa, used to form feminine adjectives and toponyms in Polish. The same root yields related terms such as drukowy (printing-related) and drukarnia (printing house).

Related terms include druk (print), drukarnia (printing house), and drukować (to print). The word drukowa thus appears primarily in descriptive language about printing and, when capitalized, in geographic names linked to printing history or activities.
