Csontvázas

Csontvázas is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "skeletal" or "with a skeleton." It is primarily used to describe something that has a visible or prominent bone structure. This can refer to actual biological skeletons, such as those of animals or humans, or it can be used metaphorically.

In a literal sense, csontvázas can describe an object or being where the bones are clearly discernible. For example, one might refer to a csontvázas horse if its ribs and spine are very apparent due to leanness. It can also be used in the context of anatomical models or representations of skeletons.

Metaphorically, csontvázas can imply something that is bare, gaunt, or lacking in flesh or substance. A tree in winter might be described as csontvázas if it has lost all its leaves and only its branches remain, resembling a skeleton. Similarly, a person who is extremely thin might be called csontvázas, emphasizing their lack of body fat and prominent bones. The term carries a sense of starkness and exposure.
