Elrejtett

Elrejtett is a Hungarian adjective meaning "hidden" or "concealed." It describes something that has been deliberately kept out of sight or access, often implying that a person or process took actions to keep it away from view. The term is commonly used for information, objects, or features that are not readily visible or accessible and may be revealed later.

Etymology and formation: Elrejtett is formed from the verb elrejt, which means "to conceal" or "to hide away," with the prefix el- added. The resulting past participle functions as an attributive adjective and can modify a noun, for example elrejtett kincs (hidden treasure) or elrejtett adatok (hidden data). In singular usage it does not change for gender, while in plural it takes the usual plural suffix, as in elrejtett kincsek or elrejtett adatok.

Usage and nuance: Elrejtett emphasizes deliberate concealment by someone or something, whereas rejtett is a more general term for something that is hidden and may not necessarily imply intentional hiding. In various contexts, elrejtett is common in journalism, research, literature, and technical writing to describe information, items, or features that were kept out of sight and later uncovered or disclosed.
