rozstrzygniciem

Rozstrzygniciem is the instrumental case form of the Polish noun rozstrzygnienie (also spelled rozstrzygnięcie), meaning a decision, ruling, or resolution. In standard modern Polish, the instrumental singular is rozstrzygnięciem; rozstrzygniciem is a non-diacritic variant that appears mainly in nonstandard text or older spellings. The term denotes the act or the result by which a question or dispute is settled, and it can indicate either the decision itself or the instrument by which something is decided.

Etymology and meaning: the word comes from the verb rozstrzygać/rozstrzygnąć, “to decide, to resolve.” The related noun rozstrzygnięcie designates the moment, act, or document of reaching a final determination. In legal, administrative, and organizational contexts, rozstrzygnięcie is used to refer to the formal decision issued by an authority, such as a court, board, or regulatory body.

Usage: rozstrzygnieniem is used to describe the manner or instrument of settling a matter, for example in phrases like “z rozstrzygnięciem organu” (with the decision of the authority) or “rozstrzygnięciem sporu przez sąd.” In contemporary Polish, the preferred form is rozstrzygnięciem; writers who omit diacritics may encounter rozstrzygniciem, but it is considered nonstandard in formal texts. The noun and its instrumental form are common in legal, bureaucratic, and academic language.
