zaufanego

Zaufanego is the genitive singular masculine form of the Polish adjective zaufany, meaning trusted or reliable. In Polish grammar, adjectives decline to reflect gender, number, and case, so zaufanego appears when the noun it modifies is masculine and in the genitive or accusative singular. The form derives from the root zaufanie, which means trust.

In ordinary language, zaufany and its inflected forms are used to describe people, objects, or systems regarded as trustworthy. The word is common in contexts ranging from everyday descriptions—such as a zaufany partner or zaufany źródło—to more specialized terminology in law, administration, and technology. It is also encountered in official phrases and proper nouns, where capitalization can mark a specific, named concept rather than a general description.

A notable contemporary use in Poland is the term Profil Zaufany, or Trusted Profile, a government service for digital authentication. Profil Zaufany enables authentication for many public services via gov.pl and ePUAP, often serving as a cheaper alternative to a qualified electronic signature. Although the official service name is capitalized as a proper noun, the underlying adjective remains zaufany and its inflected forms. The concept emphasizes identity verification and trust in online interactions with public administration, without requiring a formal cryptographic certificate.
