Csúszó

Csúszó is a Hungarian term that serves as both an adjective and a noun meaning “sliding” or “able to slide.” It derives from the verb csúszik, meaning “to slide.” In grammar, csúszó is the present participle form used in compound words and attributive phrases.

Usage and examples include everyday language where the word appears in compounds such as csúszóajtó (a door that slides) and csúszófelület (a surface capable of sliding). It can describe motion or devices that move by sliding rather than by rotation, serving to characterize both phenomena and objects associated with linear, sliding movement.

In technical contexts, csúszó refers to sliding motion at the contact between surfaces, with implications for friction and wear. It is used to form terms describing sliding mechanisms and components where linear motion is employed instead of pivoting or rolling. The exact vocabulary varies by field, but the core idea remains the same: motion or parts designed to slide.

The term is closely related to related forms and concepts such as csúszás (sliding), csúszik (to slide), and various compound terms that denote sliding surfaces, doors, or joints in engineering, architecture, and everyday objects.
