przechwycone

Przechwycone is a Polish term formed as the past passive participle of przechwycić, meaning intercepted or captured. It functions as an adjective or participle and agrees with the noun it describes. The root conveys the action of taking something into custody or stopping it in transit, and it is widely used in contexts such as communications, data, and physical objects. Examples include przechwycone dane (captured data) and przechwycone wiadomości (intercepted messages).

In modern Polish, przechwycone appears in journalism, law enforcement, security, and information technology. When used with data or traffic, it indicates that information has been obtained without authorization or by surveillance. In policing or military contexts, it can refer to seized materials or equipment. The form also contrasts with verb-focused forms: przechwycono (it was intercepted) and przechwytywanie (the act of interception). Common collocations include przechwycone dane, przechwycone wiadomości, przechwycone pliki, and przechwycone materiały.

Grammatical note: as a past participle, przechwycone changes form to agree with the noun it modifies: przechwycona wiadomość, przechwycony plik, przechwycone dane. This flexibility allows the term to describe a range of intercepted or captured items across different genders and numbers.
