-''Załatwianie'' (verbal form: to ''załatwić'' something) is a Polish euphemism describing a number of informal behaviours, carried out mostly to obtain benefits by avoiding the use of arduous legal activities or formal norms<ref>Słownik Języka Polskiego PWN. 2007. Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN.</ref>. In a rough translation, the phrase ‘''załatwić'' something’ means ‘to get something done’ or ‘to get something done in an easier way’; it is related to the verb ''ułatwić'', which means ‘to do something easier’. The etymology of ''załatwić'' derives from the word ''łatwy'' (easy) with the prefix ‘''za''’, which means that something has been done and/or completed. The word ''załatwić'' has its origins in Slavonic languages, but its final form has only developed in Polish<ref>Słownik Języka Polskiego PWN. 2007. Warszawa: Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN.</ref>. Therefore, ''załatwianie'' cannot be directly translated into any other language.
