obejmy

Obejmy is a Polish noun that occurs mainly in literary or historical language. It denotes an act of embracing or encircling, and more broadly can refer to the extent, scope, or enclosure of something. The form is the plural of a rarely attested noun, often explained as deriving from the verb obemajować/obejmować (to embrace, to surround, to include). Because it is infrequent in contemporary usage, the exact sense of obejmy can vary with context and is sometimes understood metaphorically as a surrounding or coverage.

Etymology and morphology: Obejmy is linked to the verb obęjmować, meaning to embrace or to include. As a plural noun, it appears primarily in older or more formal texts, where noun formation from verbs through suffixation is more common. Its appearance today is typically confined to dictionaries illustrating archaic, poetic, or register-shifting language.

Usage and interpretation: In modern Polish, synonyms such as zakres or zasięg are more common when referring to extent or scope, while uścisk or objęcie may be used for physical acts of embracing. Obejmy, by contrast, is often encountered as a stylistic or emphatic choice in certain poetic or discursive contexts, where it can carry both literal and figurative nuances of surrounding, encompassing, or enveloping.
