popsaná

Popsané is a Czech past passive participle form of the verb popsat, which means to describe or to outline. In usage, popsané functions as an adjective that denotes content or information that has already been described, detailed, or summarized in a prior text or section. The term is commonly found in academic, legal, and journalistic writing where it helps reference previously described material without repeating full descriptions.

In practice, popsané agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number. Typical examples include popsané údaje (described data), popsaná kapitola (described chapter), and popsané shrnutí (described/outlined summary). The phrase podlé popsané kapitoly, meaning “according to the described chapter,” is another common construction for signaling that a source material has already provided the relevant information. The exact inflected form of popsané depends on the noun it accompanies.

Popsané is often used to indicate alignment with another source or with an earlier section of the same document. It can appear in evaluative or descriptive sentences to show that the content has been taken from or derived from prior descriptions, without restating the details. While it is most frequent in formal prose, it can appear in reports, papers, and official summaries where concise cross-referencing is desirable.
