przesuwu

Przesuwu is a Polish inflected form most commonly encountered as the genitive singular of the noun przesuw (a shift, displacement, or slide). It appears in syntactic contexts that require the genitive case (for example after negation, numerals, or certain prepositions) and in fixed technical expressions. The root przesuw derives from the verb przesuwać / przesunąć, meaning to move, slide, or shift.

Meanings and usage

As an element of phrases, przesuwu typically denotes a change of position in space or time: mechanical displacement (przesuwy elementów), optical or spectral shift, temporal shift or postponement, and relative movement in signal processing. In everyday language it can mark postponement or rescheduling in colloquial constructions. In many contexts the synonym przesunięcie is more frequent, but przesuwu appears in morphological combinations and idiomatic uses where the base noun is preferred.

Technical contexts

In engineering, physics and computer science, forms derived from przesuw describe translations, offsets and shifts (for example przesuw osi, przesuw fazowy). In typographic or interface design it may denote slider controls and adjustable offsets.
