mocodawc

Mocodawca (also written mocodawc) is a noun used in Polish to describe a source or giver of power, energy, or authority. The term can refer to a person, organization, or device that provides the necessary power or the permission for an action. Its use spans technical, legal, and figurative contexts.

Etymology and meaning. The word is built from moc, meaning power or strength, and dawca, meaning giver or donor. This compound emphasizes the role of the entity as an originator or grantor of power, control, or authorization rather than merely a conduit or user of it.

Contexts and usage. In technical and engineering language, mocodawca can denote a power source or supply that energizes a system, such as a battery, power module, or other energy-providing component. In legal and administrative discourse, it can describe the grantor of authority or the person who delegates powers, for example in the context of authority to act on someone’s behalf. In political or organizational rhetoric, mocodawca may be used figuratively to identify the sponsor or legitimizing authority behind a policy, project, or reform.

Examples. "Systemy zasilania omawiane były w kontekście mocodawcy energii dla całości infrastruktury." "W umowie mocodawca upoważnia pełnomocnika do podejmowania decyzji." In literary or analytical writing, one might speak of the "mocodawca reformy" as the actor who grants legitimacy or power to implement changes.
