pieprzowa

Pieprzowa is the feminine singular form of the Polish adjective pieprzowy, derived from the noun pieprz (pepper). It denotes pepper-related characteristics, most often flavor or aroma, and is used in culinary and descriptive language. The base forms are pieprzowy (masc.), pieprzowe (neut./plural) and pieprzowa (fem.). When modifying a feminine noun, the form pieprzowa is used, for example “przyprawa pieprzowa” (pepper-flavored spice) or “nuta pieprzowa” (peppery note).

Etymology and morphology: The word combines pieprz with the productive Polish suffix -owa, which forms feminine adjectives and, in onomastics, the feminine form of a surname or a toponymic element. In everyday language, pieprzowa is simply the feminine adjective; in compound names it may appear as part of a longer noun phrase.

Surname and toponymic use: Pieprzowa can function as a feminine form of a surname derived from Pieprz; Polish married women historically bear such -owa forms. In toponymy, -owa elements appear in historical or descriptive place names but are relatively rare for modern usage.

Limitations: Pieprzowa is not a standalone noun; it is an inflected adjective, and its occurrence outside of descriptive language, surnames, or historical toponymy is limited.
