správ

Správ is a term encountered in Slavic-language contexts, most notably in Czech and Slovak, where it is not a common standalone modern word. The semantic field associated with správ is connected to administration, order, and management. It forms the core of several widely used words, such as správa (administration, management, or message), správce (administrator), and spravovat (to administer, to manage). Related forms in the same language group include správný (correct, proper).

In contemporary usage, správ typically does not stand alone as an independent lexeme. When it appears, it is usually as part of compounds, historical spellings, or within dialectal forms rather than as a separate word with its own dictionary entry. In onomastics, Správ can occur as a surname, reflecting its historical roots in the governing or administrative domain of a community, though it remains relatively uncommon.

Etymologically, správ derives from a Slavic root associated with regulation, governance, and order. The precise historical development of the form can vary among languages, but the common thread is the idea of oversight, management, or correctness that underpins related vocabulary across Czech, Slovak, and neighboring languages.
