rozszerzone

Rozszerzone is a Polish adjective and participial form derived from the verb rozszerzyć, meaning to widen, enlarge or extend. It is used to describe something that has been made larger, broader or more comprehensive. In Polish, it can agree with different nouns depending on gender and number, appearing in phrases such as rozszerzone atrybuty or rozszerzona rzeczywistość.

Etymology and meaning: The word combines the prefix roz- (indicating completion or totality) with szer- (from szeroki, wide). The resulting sense is that of something that has been expanded beyond its original scope or limitations. It is commonly used in technical and scholarly language as well as in everyday speech.

Common usage in Polish: In computing and technology, rozszerzone appears frequently in terms like rozszerzone atrybuty plików (extended file attributes), rozszerzone funkcje systemu (extended features), or rozszerzone wyszukiwanie (enhanced search). In science and media, it appears in contexts such as rozszerzona rzeczywistość, more commonly written as rozszerzona rzeczywistość, meaning augmented reality. In general prose, it can describe broadened capabilities, ranges or implications, for example rozszerzone możliwości or rozszerzony zakres, depending on the noun’s gender and number.

Notes for learners: Rozszerzone is a flexible descriptor, often used to signal that something has surpassed its original, more limited form. Its exact form adapts to the noun it accompanies, as is typical in Polish adjectives and participles.
