Bocsátott

Bocsátott is the past participle form of the Hungarian verb bocsátani, meaning to release, emit, send forth, issue, or grant. As a participial adjective, bocsátott describes something that has been released or emitted, rather than something currently performing the action. It is commonly used in technical and formal language to indicate the result of an emitting or issuing process.

In practice, bocsátott is used with nouns referring to phenomena or objects that can be produced or issued by a source. Typical domains include physics and engineering, where phrases such as bocsátott fény (emitted light) or bocsátott sugárzás (emitted radiation) appear. It can also describe documents or notifications that have been issued, for example bocsátott értesítés (issued notice) or bocsátott engedély (granted/issued permit). The form can take different case endings depending on sentence structure, just like other Hungarian participial adjectives.

Grammatically, bocsátott functions as a participle that agrees with the noun it modifies in number and, in certain constructions, voice or definiteness. It is used without a definite article in many scientific texts, while in general prose it follows ordinary Hungarian agreement and case rules. The related forms include bocsátó (the present participle/adjective indicating the act of releasing) and bocsátás (the act of releasing or emission).

Etymology traces bocsátott to the verb bocsátani, rooted in the general Hungarian verb complex for sending forth or distributing. The exact historical origins of the root bocs- are not always explicitly attested in contemporary sources, but the participial form clearly marks a consequence of the releasing action.
