Summary/Abstract: The author follows the history of the title word family from the days of Middle Polish until the contemporary times, taking into consideration semantic changes. The perception of semantic transformations have been limited to specialization of meanings and shifting of semantic dominant. There have also appeared additional semantic components: the perceptive, visual matter was particularized with the way or aim of looking, enriched with physical activity – to pay sb a visit, or with emotional components – care for sb. The author of the article also paid attention to a great number of phrases with the verb zaglądać listed from the Middle Polish period. Trans. A. Gierba
