odwrocie

Odwrocie is a Polish noun that denotes the reverse side, the back, or the opposite side of an object. It is used when contrasting with the front side or face of something and applies to items such as sheets of paper, printed materials, coins, or documents.

In everyday language, the expression na odwrocie refers to content located on the backside, for example na odwrocie kartki Zapisane notatki. In publishing and printing, odwrocie may indicate the backside of a sheet intended for notes or additional printing. In numismatics (coins) and philately (stamps), the term appears in descriptive texts alongside more technical terms like awers and rewers, though rewers is the standard term for the reverse side of a coin or stamp. The choice of term depends on the context and audience.

Etymology and grammar: The noun is related to the verb odwrócić (to reverse) and is regularly used in the locative form odwrocie to specify location: na odwrocie or odwrocie kartki.

See also: awers, rewers, tył, obrócenie. Odwrocie is chiefly a descriptive or spatial term and is less common in strict technical catalogs where awers or rewers are preferred.
