presun

Presun is a term used in several Slavic languages, notably Slovak, Czech, and Slovenian, to denote movement or transfer from one place, state, or context to another. It can refer to physical relocation, the transfer of data or resources, or the reassignment of personnel within an organization.

In daily use, presun may describe relocating a company’s headquarters (presun sídla firmy), moving data between systems (presun dát; data migration), or shifting staff from one department to another. In geography or logistics, the word can denote the physical act of moving goods or people. In linguistics, presun is used to denote the movement of a constituent from one position to another within a sentence, analogous to the notion of movement in syntactic theory, where elements are repositioned to achieve focus, topic, or information structure.

Etymology: The word is cognate with related Slavic terms for moving or transferring and appears with diacritics in different languages (for example, přesun in Czech; presun in Slovak and Slovenian).
