prísun

Prísun is a Slovak noun meaning the act of supplying something necessary or the amount supplied over a period. It is used to refer to provisioning or input of resources, goods, energy, information, or nutrients that sustain a system or organism. The term emphasizes a continuous or regular flow rather than a single delivery.

In everyday language, prísun can describe the regular delivery of items such as food, fuel, or medical supplies, as in securing a steady prísun potravín (supply of food). In biology and nutrition, prísun živín or prísun vitamínov describes the intake or uptake of nutrients required for growth and health. In technical contexts, prísun energie or prísun elektriny refers to the power supply to a device or system. In economics and logistics, it can denote the inflow of goods or funds to a market or operation, for example prísun kapitálu or prísun tovaru within a supply chain.

The term is used across formal and informal Slovak and often appears with adjectives describing the adequacy of supply, such as pravidelný (regular), dostatočný (adequate), or neúmerný (excessive). It contrasts with scarcity or deficit, which describe insufficient prísun. Prísun thus functions as a general label for inputs that keep a process, economy, organism, or infrastructure functioning.
