uwolniona

Uwolniona is a Polish feminine past passive participle and adjective derived from the verb uwolnić, meaning to release or liberate. It describes a female subject that has been freed from confinement, captivity, restraint, or from obligations such as accusations. As a participle, uwolniona can function predicatively (She was uwolniona) or attributively (uwolniona osoba, a released person) and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

In grammar, uwolniona shares the same root as related forms like uwolnić (to release), uwolnienie (a release), and wolność (freedom). The feminine form uwolniona corresponds to masculine uwolniony and neuter uwolnione, with plural forms matching standard Polish participle declension. The word is commonly used in both formal and informal registers, including journalism, legal language, and narrative prose.

Usage notes include its application to physical captivity (a prisoner released) as well as figurative releases (exonerated, liberated from obligations or restrictions). Examples: Po miesiącach poszukiwań uwolniona została zakładniczka. The suspect was uwolniona od części zarzutów, according to the investigation. In headlines or reports, the term emphasizes the completion of a freeing action involving a female subject.

Hyponyms and related terms include uwolnić (to release), uwolnienie (release), and wolność (freedom). See also niewola (captivity) and oskarżenie (accusation) when discussing contexts of confinement or release.
