frakní

Frakní is a Czech adjective derived from frak, the term for a tailcoat. The word describes something related to or characteristic of a frak, for example a frakní límec (tailcoat collar) or frakní látka (fabric associated with formal coats). The form is relatively rare in contemporary prose and is predominantly found in historical descriptions, costume studies, or fashion history texts that discuss 19th‑century or earlier attire.

Etymology and usage notes: Frakní is formed from the noun frak with the adjectival suffix -ní. The underlying noun frak is borrowed from German Frack, referring to a long-tailed dress coat. In modern Czech, frakový is more common when describing tailcoat-related things, while frakní is typically encountered in niche or archaic contexts. The term is not a standard part of everyday speech.

Context and references: Frakní appears chiefly in discussions of historical costume, period dramas, or academic writings on fashion history. It helps specify features or styles that are specifically tied to traditional tailcoats, as opposed to other types of formal wear.
