pozyskiwa

Pozyskiwa is not a standard stand-alone term in modern Polish. It most often appears as a fragment or stem connected to the verb pozyskiwać (to acquire, obtain) or as part of longer forms, rather than as an independent lexical item.

In standard Polish, the verb pozyskiwać forms with various endings to express person, number, tense, and aspect (for example: pozyskuję, pozyskujesz, pozyskiwał, pozyskiwała, pozyskiwaliśmy). The related noun form pozyskiwanie refers to the process of obtaining or the act of acquisition. The related infinitive pozyskać means to obtain or to secure. The stem pozyskiwa- is used across these forms, so pozyskiwa by itself is typically incomplete without an ending or context.

Usage and interpretation: if pozyskiwa appears in text without an ending, it is usually a truncation, an OCR error, or a fragment of a longer word or phrase (for example, pozyskiwała, pozyskiwał, or pozyskiwanie). In dictionaries, pozyskiwać and pozyskać are the standard entries; pozyskiwa does not stand as a separate lemma.

Etymology: pozyskiwać is derived from the prefix po- with the root related to zyskać (to gain). The formation is typical of Polish verbs indicating the act of obtaining something.
