zarysowane

Zarysowane is a Polish adjective and past participle formed from the verb zarysować, meaning to outline or sketch. It denotes that something has been drawn as an outline or sketched rather than fully detailed. The form is used in agreement with the noun it describes: masculine singular is zarysowany, feminine singular is zarysowana, while neuter singular and all plural forms are zarysowane.

Etymology and related forms: zarysowane derives from zarys, the noun for an outline or sketch, which in turn comes from the verb rysować (to draw). The prefix za- in zarysować conveys the sense of producing a rough outline or preliminary sketch. The term is common in contexts where a preliminary or schematic representation is distinguished from a finished, fully rendered image.

Usage and context: zarysowane is used to describe drawings, plans, maps, or descriptions that show outlines rather than complete detail. It is frequent in art, cartography, architecture, design, and technical documentation. It can refer to both literal outlines (zarysowane kontury) and figurative outlines (zarysowana koncepcja, zarysowane założenia) indicating a rough or initial formulation.

Examples:

- Na mapie zarysowane są główne drogi.

- Zarysowane kontury budynku były widoczne na planie.

- Mamy zarysowaną koncepcję projektu, ale wymaga dopracowania.

See also: zarys, rysunek, rysować. The term remains neutral and descriptive, signaling an initial stage of depiction rather than a complete rendering.
