konstruowany

Konstruowany is a Polish adjective and verbal participle derived from the verb konstruować, meaning to construct or to design. It denotes an ongoing process of construction or the state of something that is in the course of being built. In sentences it can modify nouns directly and agrees in gender, number, and case: konstruowany most (masculine singular), konstruowana droga (feminine singular), konstruowane obiekty (neuter plural).

In usage, konstruowany expresses the progressive aspect of construction. The corresponding past participle indicating a completed construction is skonstruowany. For example: “Most jest konstruowany” means the bridge is being built, while “Most został skonstruowany” means the bridge has been constructed.

Etymology and related forms: The verb konstruować is derived from the noun konstrukcja (construction, structure), itself from Latin constructio. The prefix kon- is a Polish adaptation of con- in Latin, and the suffix -ować forms the verb. The word is closely related to konstrukcja (construction/structure) and to terms like konstruktor (designer/engineer).

In practice, konstruowany appears in technical, architectural, and project descriptions to describe elements, plans, models, or systems in development, as well as in metaphorical uses such as konstruowany model teoretyczny (a theoretical model under development). It provides a specific nuance distinct from the finished state, highlighting ongoing creation or assembly.
