The paper presents the results of the semantic and formal derivation of the Common Slavic root *by- (as in the Polish verb być) in the Polish language based on its two different semantic components: 1. ‘to exist, to be somewhere’ and 2. ‘to have some attribute’; ‘to be somebody’.
The analyses lead to the conclusion that *by- (in the derivatives from być) has extremely high frequency both in the vocabulary and in the texts, and as such constitutes an important element of the Polish lexical and syntactic system.
