átdörzsölni

Átdörzsölni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to rub through" or "to chafe." It describes the action of an object or surface repeatedly moving against another, causing friction and potentially wear or damage. This can be a physical process, such as the rubbing of clothing against skin, leading to irritation, or the movement of a door against a frame, causing a scraping sound and eventual wear. The verb implies a continuous or repetitive motion that results in a thorough or penetrating rubbing.

In a more figurative sense, átdörzsölni can refer to the process of going through something in detail or with great scrutiny, as if rubbing away any impurities or obscurities. This might be used when discussing the careful examination of a document or the thorough analysis of a problem. The core idea remains one of persistent contact and interaction leading to a deeper understanding or a noticeable effect. The context in which the word is used will determine whether the meaning is literal and physical or metaphorical and abstract.
