wykoczeniu

Wykoczeniu is a rarely attested Polish noun that denotes the act or moment of abruptly coming out or springing out of a place or situation. It is formed in analogy with other -enie nouns from verbs, but in standard usage the more common term for this sense is wyskoczenie, derived from the widely used verb wyskoczyć (to jump out). Because wykoczeniu is not widely documented in standard dictionaries, it is typically considered a nonce or dialectal formation and is mainly found in informal, humorous, or creative writing.

Etymology and status in Polish

The form wykoczenie is generally described as a derivation from a hypothetical or less common verb wykoczyć, with the usual -enie nominal suffix. In contrast, the conventional Polish verb for a sudden outward movement is wyskoczyć, whose noun is wyskoczenie. Wykoczenie thus stands apart from standard vocabulary and is treated by many linguists as a stylistic variant or neologism rather than a stable, widely recognized term.

Usage

When it appears, wykoczeniu is used to convey an abrupt, energetic, or playful sense of someone or something popping out of a space or situation. Its communicative effect relies on novelty or humor, and speakers often prefer the conventional wyskoczenie in formal or widely understood contexts. Because of its limited documentation, the exact nuance of wykoczenie can vary by author or regional usage.
