szerzeniu

Szerzenie is a Polish noun that denotes the act or process of spreading, disseminating, or propagating something, such as information, ideas, diseases, or cultural practices. It is formed from the verb szerzyć (to spread) with the common abstract-noun suffix -enie, yielding szerzenie as the base form. The form szerzeniu is a grammatical inflection of szerzenie (it is the dative or locative singular), and it commonly appears with prepositions that require these cases, for example in the phrase w szerzeniu informacji (in the dissemination of information).

In usage, szerzenie appears in various domains. In sociology and communication studies, it refers to how messages or knowledge are distributed within groups or society. In public health and epidemiology, it describes the spread of diseases. In marketing and media, it can denote the propagation of campaigns or content. A closely related term is rozpowszechnianie, which is often used for broader or formal contexts of making something widespread; szerzenie can carry a more active sense of spreading through action or influence.

Examples of common expressions include szerzenie informacji (dissemination of information), szerzenie dezinformacji (spread of disinformation), and szerzenie chorób zakaźnych (transmission of infectious diseases). The nuance between szerzenie and rozpowszechnianie is subtle and context-dependent, but both describe the process by which something becomes more widely known or distributed.
