wprawienie

Wprawienie is a Polish noun formed from the verb wprawić with the suffix -enie, indicating the act or process of placing something into a new state or condition, or of initiating an action or mechanism. The term emphasizes the moment of transition from one state to another and can describe both physical changes and figurative effects. It is commonly found in formal, technical, and literary contexts.

In physical or mechanical contexts, wprawienie often appears with phrases such as wprawienie w ruch, meaning to set a machine or mechanism in motion, or to start a device. It can also refer to the initial adjustment or calibration of equipment, for example in expressions describing bringing a tool or mechanism into operation.

In figurative uses, wprawienie can denote causing a state of feeling or perception: wprawienie w osłupienie (to astonish or astonish someone), wprawienie w błąd (to mislead), or wprawienie w zakłopotanie (to cause confusion or embarrassment). The noun generally foregrounds the triggering of a change rather than the final state itself.

Relation to other terms: wprawienie overlaps with uruchomienie (start-up) and wprowadzenie (introduction), but is more focused on the act of inducing a change or setting something in motion rather than merely beginning an operation or introducing something new.
