What is the Polish word for a surgeon?

  1. chirurg

  2. krawiec

  3. sportowiec

  4. inżynier

The correct answer is: chirurg

The Polish word for a surgeon is "chirurg." This term is derived from the Greek "cheirourgos," reflecting the surgical profession's historical roots. In Polish, "chirurg" specifically denotes a medical doctor who specializes in surgical procedures, highlighting their expertise in performing operations and critical care. The other options represent different professions. "Krawiec" translates to tailor, referring to someone skilled in garment making and alteration. "Sportowiec" means athlete, a person engaged in sports and physical activities. "Inżynier" is the word for engineer, a professional trained in a specific field of engineering. These terms do not relate to the medical field of surgery and therefore do not fit the criteria for the correct answer.
