przewidziane

Przewidziane is a Polish term formed from the verb przewidzieć (to foresee). It functions as an adjective or past participle and means foreseen, anticipated, or planned. It agrees with the noun it modifies: przewidziany (masculine), przewidziana (feminine), przewidziane (neuter or plural). In practice, it denotes something that has been anticipated or provided for in advance.

The word is commonly used in legal, administrative, financial, and journalistic texts, as well as in everyday language, to indicate provisions, actions, or items that have been foreseen or scheduled. Examples include phrases like koszty przewidziane w budżecie (expenses foreseen in the budget), wydarzenia przewidziane na ten tydzień (events scheduled for this week), and przepisy przewidziane w ustawie (provisions foreseen in the statute). In English, przewidziane is often translated as foreseen, planned, or budgeted, depending on context.

Etymology and nuance: przewidziane derives from przewidzieć, incorporating the prefix prze- and the root widzieć (to see), conveying the idea of looking ahead and making arrangements. The term tends to be used in contexts where specific outcomes, costs, or rules have already been accounted for, rather than merely imagined.
