przypisane

Przypisane is a Polish past participle and adjective derived from the verb przypisać, which means to attribute, assign, or credit to someone or something. In contemporary usage, przypisane describes elements that have been allocated, attributed, or identified as belonging to a particular source, author, person, or category. The form functions as an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies, with variations such as przypisany (masc. sing.), przypisana (fem. sing.), przypisane (neut. sing. or neut./plural), and przypisani (masc. plural).

In linguistic and scholarly writing, przypisane often appears in discussions of attribution or sourcing, for example when noting which statements or ideas are attributed to a specific author. In data and information contexts, it can describe values, attributes, or labels that have been assigned to records or variables, as in przypisane wartości or przypisane identyfikatory. The nuance of przypisane centers on an act of attribution or designation performed by an agent, rather than a mere characteristic inherent to the object.

The term is closely related to czasownik przypisać and to related nouns such as przypis (footnote or attribution) and przypisanie (the act of assigning or attributing). While przypisane can be used in neutral, descriptive prose, its precise meaning depends on the noun it accompanies and the surrounding context, clarifying whether the attribution is to a person, a source, a category, or a data element.
