oddanego

Oddanego is a grammatical form in Polish, not a standalone lexical item. It is the genitive singular masculine form of the adjective or past participle oddany, which carries the sense of being devoted, dedicated, or surrendered. The form appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in the genitive case, or in constructions that require the genitive.

Etymology and morphology: the word derives from the verb od- plus dać (to give), with the participle meaning someone who has been given over, committed, or devoted. As a declined form, oddanego signals agreement with masculine singular nouns in genitive, and it can also appear in other grammatical environments that invoke the same stem. In Polish, such inflected forms are common for adjectives and participles that describe a noun or express a relational quality.

Usage and contexts: oddanego is most often encountered in formal, literary, or religious language, where speakers describe a person, object, or commitment as being devoted to a cause, person, or duty. It may occur in phrases that articulate dedication or surrender, or in descriptive passages that attribute a strong relational bond to the subject. Because it is a specific inflected form, its appearance is tied to grammatical requirements rather than standing as an independent lexical unit with a separate meaning.

Relation to related forms: the base adjective/participle oddany has other forms (nominative, feminine, neuter, and other cases) used to describe different nouns and syntactic positions. Odadanego is one of several case-specific endings that Polish uses to express subtle grammatical relationships between words in a sentence.
