rozpylana

Rozpylana is a feminine singular adjective form in Polish, used to describe something that has been dispersed by spraying or distributed as droplets. It is derived from the verb rozpylac/rozpylać (to spray or aerosolize) with the prefix roz- indicating a completed or dispersed result. As an adjective, rozpylana agrees with the noun it modifies, for example rozpylana substancja chemiczna (a sprayed chemical substance) or rozpylana mgła (sprayed mist).

Etymology and forms: The stem is rozpyl-, with typical endings such as rozpylany (masc.), rozpylana (fem.), and rozpylane (neuter/plural). In use, rozpylana commonly appears with feminine singular nouns and functions to convey that the item in question has undergone a spraying process. The term is predominantly found in technical, scientific, agricultural, or industrial texts and in contexts describing dispersion or application by spraying devices.

Usage notes: Rozpylana describes the result of spraying rather than the act itself, which is conveyed by the verb rozpylac/rozpylać (to spray). It is often used in safety, environmental, or regulatory writing to specify a dispersed substance or aerosol. While common in such contexts, the form may be less frequent in everyday language, where more explicit phrases (for example, “substancja rozpylona” or “mgła rozpylana”) might be preferred depending on the sentence.
