Nabróż

Nabróż is a less common, somewhat archaic Polish word referring to a person who is browbeaten or subjected to persistent scolding, nagging, or reprimands. The term implies a state of being constantly criticized and finding oneself in a position where one is always being corrected or found fault with. While not used frequently in modern everyday conversation, "nabróż" evokes a sense of weariness and submission stemming from constant disapproval. It can also imply a feeling of helplessness due to the perceived inevitability of criticism. The word carries a subtly negative connotation, suggesting a dispiriting and potentially demoralizing situation for the individual described as "nabróż." The root of the word likely connects to the brow (brwi in Polish), hinting at the disapproving or furrowed brow of the person doing the scolding.
