lekarski

Lekarski is a Polish adjective meaning medical or related to physicians. It describes things connected with medicine, medical science, or the medical profession. Common usages include kierunek lekarski (the medical degree program), wydział lekarski (faculty of medicine), and sprzęt lekarski (medical equipment). The corresponding noun for a person is lekarz (physician). The adjective has gendered forms in Polish: lekarski (masc. sing.), lekarska (fem. sing.), lekarskie (neut. or pl.).

Etymology and sense: lekarski is derived from lekarz, the term for a medical practitioner, with the suffix -ski indicating relation or belonging. The word is distinct from medyczny, which is a broader term covering medicine and medical care rather than the physician profession itself.

Usage and scope: In institutions and professional contexts, lekarski appears in names and phrases such as Wydział Lekarski, Szkoła Lekarska (historical term for a medical school), and sprzęt lekarski. It is commonly used to describe things associated with medical practice, clinical settings, or physician-related activities, while more general references to health care may use medyczny or related terms.

Surname and nomenclature notes: Lekarski can also function as a surname in Polish, with the feminine form Lekarska. It is relatively uncommon and not tied to a single widely known figure internationally. As a surname, it may appear in official documents or genealogical records rather than as a widely recognized given name.
