orgánov

Orgánov is the genitive plural form of the Slovak noun orgán, used to express possession, partitive relationships, or association with multiple "organs" in both literal and figurative senses. In Slovak usage, orgánov commonly refers to biological organs (parts of an organism) as well as institutional or administrative bodies (authorities, agencies, councils).

The term appears frequently in legal and administrative contexts, for example in phrases such as orgánov štátnej správy (bodies of state administration) or orgánov samosprávy (self-government bodies). In biological contexts it may be used in phrases like funkcia orgánov (function of organs) when indicating characteristics or relations that involve more than one organ.

Etymologically the Slovak orgán traces back to Latin organum and shares cognates with other Slavic and European languages (Czech orgán, Polish organ, English organ). The Czech genitive plural equivalent is orgánů. Pronunciation in Slovak can be approximated as or-GAH-nov.

As a grammatical form, orgánov is specific to contexts requiring the genitive plural and appears in fixed expressions, formal writing, legislation, medical texts, and descriptive prose. It can also occur as part of compound names or titles where multiple organs or authorities are being referenced.
