pecích

Pecích is a Czech and Slovak inflected form of the noun pec, which means "oven" or "furnace." Specifically, pecích is the locative plural used after prepositions (for example, v pecích, "in ovens"), and appears in contexts that refer collectively to ovens, kilns or furnaces.

In everyday language, pecích commonly relates to cooking and baking—wood‑fired or masonry ovens used for bread, pastries and roasting in traditional Central European households. In technical and crafts vocabulary, the term also applies to industrial kilns and furnaces for ceramics, glassmaking and metallurgy, where multiple chambers or installations may be discussed as pecích.

Historically, masonry ovens were central to rural domestic architecture and communal baking practices; references to pecích occur in descriptions of historical bakeries, regional baking customs and restoration of vernacular buildings. The word is used both literally and, less frequently, metaphorically to describe intense heat or transformative processes (for example, metalworking or firing ceramics).

As a grammatical form, pecích is part of the standard declension pattern for the feminine noun pec and is used wherever the locative plural is required by syntax or preposition.
