Elszennyezdött

Elszennyezdött is a nonstandard or rarely attested Hungarian form that appears to be a misspelled or creative variant related to the verb szennyezni, meaning “to pollute.” It is not part of standard Hungarian orthography and is generally regarded as incorrect in formal writing. The standard forms most closely associated with this idea are elszennyezett (polluted) and elszennyeződött (became polluted or became polluted over time), depending on nuance and syntactic context.

Etymology and formation notes suggest that elszennyezdött would be an attempt to combine the prefix el- with a past participle form derived from szennyez- and the usual -ett/-ött ending. In proper Hungarian, prefixal verbs built from szennyezni typically yield elszennyezett or elszennyeződött, not elszennyezdött. Therefore, elszennyezdött does not reflect standard morphology and is mainly of interest as a spelling variant in informal text or as a cautionary example of nonstandard formation.

Usage and reception: because it is not approved by dictionaries or language authorities, elszennyezdött is rarely accepted in edited prose and may be flagged as a typographical error or playful nonce-formation. When clarity is required, writers should prefer elszennyezett or elszennyeződött depending on the intended meaning.

Note: If encountering elszennyezdött in the wild, treat it as nonstandard; check for intended standard equivalents.
