potpisan

Potpisan is a term with Slavic origins, commonly encountered in contexts related to documents, signatures, and agreements. It translates directly to "signed" in English. The root word, "potpis," refers to a signature, the unique mark or name a person affixes to a document to indicate their identity and consent. Therefore, "potpisan" describes the state of a document or item that has been legally or officially validated by the act of signing.

The use of "potpisan" implies that a formal agreement has been reached, a contract has been executed, or an official endorsement has been given. It signifies a commitment or acknowledgment on the part of the signatory. For example, a contract that has been reviewed and agreed upon by all parties would be described as "potpisan ugovor" (signed contract). Similarly, a letter or declaration bearing an individual's signature is "potpisano pismo" (signed letter). The term is fundamental in legal, business, and administrative processes where authenticity and authorization are crucial.
