Příspěvek pojednává o anglické výpůjčce "geocaching" a jeho derivacích a zkoumá stupeň jejich adaptace v českém jazyce.

The paper focuses on the contemporary state of Czech geocaching terminology, i.e., mainly newly incorporated terms, still not fully adapted into the Czech language. It outlines how the currently used borrowings function in the Czech geocaching vernacular and their level of adaptation to the Czech orthographic, phonological and morphological systems. The aim of this article will be to show how these new lexical items are being adapted to the Czech language on different levels. The vocabulary under investigation was collected from the Czech newspaper magazine Víkend Dnes issued on 14 July 2018. To support the topic, the introductory passages include some general notes on borrowings and Anglicisms in Czech, as well as on history of this outdoor recreational activity carried by enthusiasts all over the world.
