odbiorc

Odbiorc is not a standard Polish word. The correct and widely used term is odbiorca, which means recipient or addressee. It refers to a person or entity that receives something, such as a letter, package, payment, or information. The word derives from the verb odbierać and the noun odbiór, with the agentive suffix -ca.

In everyday and formal language, odbiorca appears in phrases like adres odbiorcy (recipient’s address), odbiorca przesyłki (recipient of a shipment), odbiorca faktury (recipient of an invoice), or odbiorca wiadomości (recipient of a message). In logistics and commerce, the odbiorca is the party to whom goods are delivered, with the sender typically labeled nadawca.

In computing and telecommunications, odbiorca denotes the recipient of data or messages, such as the intended odbiorca wiadomości e-mail or odbiorca danych. In contrast, the device that receives signals is usually called odbiornik, for example a radio receiver or television receiver.

Etymology and related forms: odbiorca comes from odbiór (receipt, pickup) and odbierać (to receive). The feminine form is odbiorczyni, used for a female recipient in formal context, while in many contexts odbiorca is used generically.

Summary: odbiorc is a nonstandard form. The standard term odbiorca covers recipients in mail, logistics, finance, and communications, while odbiornik denotes a receiver device. Understanding the distinction helps avoid confusion in formal documents and technical texts.
