sanitetski

Sanitetski is an adjective used in several South Slavic languages, including Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian, to describe things related to sanitation, hygiene, or medical services. The base noun sanitet denotes sanitary or medical care, and the adjective appears most often in formal, institutional, or historical contexts.

In military and organizational language, sanitetski is common in phrases such as sanitetski korpus (medical corps), sanitetska služba (sanitary/medical service), and sanitetsko vozilo (medical transport vehicle). In civil usage, sanitetski can refer to aspects of sanitary facilities or health-related standards, though everyday speech more often employs terms like higijenski or sanitarni for general cleanliness.

Etymology and usage notes: Sanitetski derives from sanitet, a term for sanitary or medical services. The exact origin of sanitet in the region reflects historical borrowings from European languages active in the 19th and 20th centuries, including German Sanität. The word remains common in official, military, and archival language and may appear in older documents, laws, or descriptions of health and military infrastructure.
