zaszywane

Zaszywane is a Polish adjective and participial form derived from the verb zaszywać, meaning to sew up or close with stitches. The term describes something that has been closed or finished by stitching, rather than merely sewn together. In everyday language it is most often found in contexts involving textiles, leatherwork, or upholstery, where edges, seams, or components have been finished by stitching.

Etymology and grammar

Zaszywane comes from za- (prefix indicating completion or closure) + szyć (archaic form of szyć, to sew) and is used as a participial adjective. In Polish, related forms include zaszywany (masculine), zaszywana (feminine), and zaszywane (neuter or plural), which modify nouns according to gender and number. The form zaszywane tends to appear with neuter nouns or in phrases describing processes or components that have undergone stitching.

Usage and domains

The term is common in the domains of clothing, textiles, and upholstery, where parts of a fabric, garment, or item may be described as zaszywane (stitched/finished by sewing). It is also used in medical or technical writing to describe wounds, openings, or housings that are closed by suturing, though more precise medical phrasing such as “zaszyta rana” (the wound has been stitched) is also common. In manufacturing and carpentry contexts, zaszywane may appear in descriptions of finished features, such as “zaszywane brzegi” (stitched edges) or “zaszywane elementy” (stitched components).
