wygnane

Wygnane is a Polish word that functions as an adjective or past passive participle meaning exiled or banished. It is derived from the noun wygnanie (exile) and the verb wygnąć (to banish, drive out). In usage, wygnane describes things or people that have been subjected to exile or expulsion.

Grammatically, wygnane is the neuter singular form and the feminine plural form of the past passive participle wygnany. The corresponding masculine singular form is wygnany, the feminine singular wygnana, and the masculine plural wygnani. Thus wygnane can appear with neuter singular nouns (for example, miasto zostało wygnane) or with feminine plural nouns (for example, kobiety wygnane). It is commonly used in historical, political, and literary contexts to convey the status or condition of banishment.

In broader usage, wygnane appears in phrases describing exile as a social or personal experience, such as political exile or forced displacement. The related noun wygnanie denotes the act or state of exile, while the verb wygnąć emphasizes the act of driving someone out. The term is found in Polish discussions of history, law, and literature when characterizing individuals or groups that have been banished from their homeland.
