Csillapított

Csillapított is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb csillapít, meaning to damp, quiet, or suppress. It describes something whose intensity, activity, or force has been reduced by damping, mitigation, or control. The term is used across technical and everyday language to express a state rather than a process.

In technical contexts, csillapított rezgés refers to damped oscillation, where oscillatory motion decreases in amplitude over time due to resistance or a damper. Csillapított jel denotes an attenuated signal, in which the signal strength is reduced. Csillapított hang describes damped or attenuated sound, often achieved with acoustic materials or design features. Equipment and systems that deliberately produce a csillapított response typically employ dampers, absorbers, or other damping mechanisms.

Beyond engineering, csillapított can describe moderated or restrained conditions or emotions. Examples include csillapított hangulat (a calm, restrained mood) or csillapított zaj (reduced noise levels). The term emphasizes the outcome of a damping or controlling action rather than the initiating process.

Grammatically, csillapított is the past participle of csillapít and functions as an adjective. Related forms include csillapító (damper, suppressor) and csillapítás (damping, attenuation). The word is commonly used in scientific, technical, and descriptive prose to convey that a property has been diminished or stabilized through an intervening damping mechanism.
