wykazanie

Wykazanie is a Polish noun derived from the verb wykazać, meaning the act of showing, demonstrating, or proving something, usually through the presentation of relevant evidence, facts, or arguments. The term is formal and widely used in legal, administrative, and academic contexts. Etymology: from wykazać + -anie, forming a verbal noun.

In legal context, wykazanie refers to the burden of proving factual circumstances in a case. A party must wykazać roszczenie (prove the claim) or wykazać okoliczności faktyczne; the court or administrative body assesses whether the presented evidence constitutes proper wykazanie. It is closely related to dowód (evidence) and udowodnienie (proof); the exact meaning can depend on procedural rules.

In academic and scientific writing, wykazanie can denote the demonstration that a proposition is true, either by logical deduction from premises or by empirical data. The term emphasizes substantiation rather than mere assertion.

In general language, wykazanie can also denote the act of illustrating or demonstrating something to another person, for example by presenting data, examples, or calculations. However, in everyday speech this sense is less common than more specific terms such as udowodnienie or dowód.
