modulowa

Modulowa is the feminine form of the Polish adjective modułowy, meaning modular or relating to a module. It is used to describe things that are built from standard, interchangeable units or that can be assembled, reconfigured, or expanded from modules.

In Polish, modulowa typically accompanies feminine nouns, yielding phrases such as konstrukcja modulowa and architektura modulowa. The term appears across technical and design contexts to emphasize modularity, including fields like architecture, product design, manufacturing, and software design (for example, architecture modulowa or system modulowy for masculine nouns). It functions as a descriptive label rather than a standalone concept or brand.

Etymologically, modulowa derives from moduł (module) with the typical adjectival suffix -owa, used to form feminine agreement with a feminine noun. The masculine counterpart is modułowy, and the neuter/plural forms vary with the noun.

Overall, modulowa signals that a subject is composed of or organized into modules, facilitating configurability, scalability, and standardized production. It is a common linguistic tool in Polish technical writing to convey modular design without specifying a particular standard or method. Related terms include modułowy, modułowo, and architektura modułowa, all referring to various aspects of modularity.
