propoziia

Propoziia is a term used in several Slavic languages to denote a proposal, offer, or suggestion. In Ukrainian, пропозиція (propoziia) refers to an offer or bid as well as a proposed plan of action, a business proposal, or a formal suggestion. In Polish, the cognate propozycja has a similar broad sense, including formal proposals in business, administration, or politics. The form is transliterated differently across languages, and English texts may render it as propoziia, propozitsiya, or propozycja.

Etymology: The word derives from Latin proponere “to put forth,” via propositio, then through various European languages into Slavic forms.

Usage: A propoziia can be a casual suggestion or an explicit offer. In business, it often refers to a formal project proposal or bid. In public life, it may denote a policy proposal or legislative motion. In academia, a research proposal outlines goals, methods, and expected results.

Examples: A company issued a propoziia for a joint venture; a student submitted a research propoziia; a committee debated a legislative propoziia.
