formulované

Formulované is a Czech past passive participle used as an adjective meaning "formulated" or "expressed in a precise form." It refers to statements, rules, theories, methods, or other items that have been explicitly defined, stated, or developed in a structured form. The term is common in scientific, technical, legal, and academic writing, where clarity and explicitness are important.

In usage, formulované describes something that has undergone a formal process of formulation. Examples include formulované pravidlo (a formulated rule), formulovaná hypotéza (a formulated hypothesis), and formulovaný postup (a formulated procedure). The form agrees with the gender and number of the noun it modifies, with typical examples including masculine singular, feminine singular, and neuter singular phrases. In broader contexts it can refer to a wide range of codified or stated elements, such as policies, formulations, or models that have been clearly articulated.

Morphologically, formulované is the participle form of the verb formulovat, which means to formulate or to express in a specific form. As an adjective, it functions similarly to other participial adjectives and can appear in various gender–number combinations to match the noun it modifies. This flexible agreement makes formulované suitable for formal descriptions across disciplines.

Etymologically, the word derives from the root formula, through the Czech verb formulovat, reflecting its status as something that has been shaped into an explicit, structured form. Related terms include formulace (formulation) and formulovat (to formulate).
