polegajcym

Polegajcym is not a separate lexical entry in standard Polish; it is a non-diacritic representation often encountered in ASCII texts for the present participle form polegający/polegającego of the verb polegać, meaning to rely on or to be based on. In correct, diacritic-rich Polish, the instrumental singular masculine form is polegającym, and the related feminine form is polegającą. The form polegajcym would be considered a misspelling or an ASCII approximation of polegającym.

Polegajacy, polegający and their declined forms function as adjectives or participles derived from polegać. They describe something that rests on or consists of a given condition or principle. The common construction is polegający na czymś, meaning “based on something” or “relying on something.” For example: System polegający na analizie danych (A system based on data analysis); Czynność polegająca na ręcznym wprowadzaniu danych (An activity consisting of manual data entry). In questions, one might ask Na czym polega ten system? (What does this system rely on / how does this system work?)

Usage notes: polegający is declined like an adjective, with masculine singular instrumental form polegającym, feminine singular instrumental polegającą, neuter forms analogously. It is important to preserve diacritics in standard Polish; ASCII variants such as polegajcym are not considered correct standard spellings and may be found only in non-edited texts or pasting errors.

In summary, polegajcym is an unofficial ASCII rendition of the standard Polish form polegającym, used to describe something that is based on or relies on something else. See also polegać and polegać na.
