formowany

Formowany is a Polish adjective and past passive participle derived from the verb formować (to form, shape, or mold). It describes something that has been given a definite form or structure through a forming process, whether mechanical, chemical, or manual. The term is widely used in industrial, architectural, and everyday language to denote objects that are not in their natural state but have been shaped.

In grammar, formowany behaves like a standard adjective and agrees with the noun in gender, number, and case: formowany (masculine singular), formowana (feminine singular), formowane (neuter singular and all plural forms for feminine and neuter). Examples include stal formowana na zimno (cold-formed steel) and element formowany w procesie obróbki metalu (a component formed in a metalworking process).

Beyond materials, formowany can describe processes or people in a figurative sense, indicating that something or someone has been shaped or molded by a process or experience. The corresponding active form is formować, and related terms include kształtowany (shaped) and uformowany (formed), used in various contexts.

Etymology: formowany comes from formować, which derives from the root forma (shape, form) with a typical Polish participle suffix, reflecting its status as a passive participle adjective. The word is common in technical literature, manufacturing reports, and educational texts to convey a specific state of form or formation.
