zrakový

Zrakový is an adjective in Czech meaning visual, optic, or related to sight. It is used to describe anything connected with the sense of vision and appears in many technical terms, such as zrakový systém (visual system), zrakový nerv (optic nerve), or zrakové orgány (organs of vision). The word can modify masculine, feminine, or neuter nouns with standard Czech agreement: zrakový (masc.), zraková (fem.), zrakové (neuter/plural).

Etymology: Zrakový derives from zrak (sight) with the suffix -ový indicating belonging or relation; it forms cognate structures found in related Slavic languages.

Usage: Common in medicine, biology, psychology, and education, where precise reference to vision is required. It can pair with nouns to denote specific components (zrakový systém, zrakový nerv) or describe phenomena tied to sight (zrakový vjem). Note that for terms such as visual acuity, Czech uses ostrost zraku, not zraková ostrost.

Related terms and concepts include zrak (sight), optický (optic), vizuální (visual in a broader sense), and oko (eye). In discourse, zrakový is part of the broader vocabulary describing sensory modalities related to vision.
