przechodzcym

Przechodzcym is a non-diacritic rendering of a Polish grammatical form derived from the verb przechodzić (to pass or to cross). In standard Polish, the present active participle is przechodzący, and its declined forms include przechodzący (masc. nom. sing.), przechodząca (fem. nom. sing.), przechodzące (neut. nom. sing.), with corresponding forms for other cases and numbers such as przechodzącego, przechodzącej, przechodzącym, and przechodzącymi. The form without diacritics, przechodzcym, appears in plain-text contexts, older texts, OCR outputs, or informal writing where diacritical marks are omitted.

Morphology and function: The present active participle przechodzący describes someone or something that is performing the action of crossing or moving through a space. It behaves like an adjective, agreeing in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies. The participle can be used to introduce relative clauses or to describe concurrent actions, for example: mężczyzna przechodzący przez ulicę (the man crossing the street). In noun-like use, the participle can appear in constructions where it is treated as a descriptive element, akin to “the crossing person.”

Usage notes: The non-diacritic form przechodzcym is not considered standard in official or edited texts. When writing in Polish, it is preferable to use the diacritic-preserving forms (przechodzący, przechodząca, przechodzące, etc.) to ensure correct pronunciation and grammatical agreement. The meaning remains the same, signaling ongoing crossing or movement.

Etymology: The form comes from the verb przechodzić plus the present participle suffix -ący, with diacritics indicating the proper vowel quality. The non-diacritic variant reflects a lack of diacritics rather than a separate word.
