What does "zeczeto" mean? I can't work out what it means even in context.

or at least something along those lines.

btw. the spelling is incorrect.

What does "zeczeto" mean?

It's the impersonal form of verb "zacząć".
Normally verbs in Polish have a "built-in" information about the subject - zaczął (he started), zaczęliśmy (we started), etc; but not the impersonal ones. I'd translate "zaczęto" as It was started/It has been started - although it's not quite literal
