wyrzucony

Wyrzucony is a Polish adjective and past participle derived from the verb wyrzucić, meaning to throw away, discard, or eject. It designates something that has been removed or rejected, and can also describe a person who has been expelled or ostracized from a group.

In everyday use, wyrzucony can refer to objects and people. Examples include discarded items such as wyrzucony sprzęt (discarded equipment) or wyrzucone odpady (discarded waste), as well as people who have been expelled or excluded, for instance wyrzucona osoba (an ostracized person) or wyrzucony z klubu (kicked out of a club). The nuance ranges from simple disposal to social rejection or expulsion.

Grammar and inflection follow standard Polish rules for participles. The form agrees with the noun in gender and number: wyrzucony for masculine singular, wyrzucona for feminine singular, and wyrzucone for neuter singular or plural. The past passive form wyrzucono can be used to express a general or impersonal “it was thrown away.”

Etymology traces wyrzucony to wyrzucić, with the prefix wy- indicating completion or outward direction, combined with rzucić to throw. The term is common across formal and informal registers and appears in both literal and figurative contexts, such as describing objects that have been discarded or individuals who have been expelled from a group.
