Felbontott

Felbontott is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb felbontani, meaning to dismantle, to open, or to break apart. As a past participle, felbontott describes something that has already undergone the action of breaking apart, opening, or dismantling. The prefix fel- adds a sense of completion or outward action, while bontani means to break or separate.

Common usages include physical objects deliberately taken apart or opened: for example, felbontott autó refers to a vehicle that has been dismantled for parts; felbontott csomag means an opened or unpacked package. In consumer language, felbontott can be used to indicate that packaging has been opened or that a product is no longer in its original sealed state; the standard opposite is felbontatlan (unopened).

The term can also appear in technical or scientific contexts to mean that a material has been decomposed or broken down into components, though in chemistry and biology the noun bontás or bomlás is more common than felbontott; felbontás conveys the process itself, while felbontott describes the result.

Etymology: felbontott derives from felbontani, from the prefix fel- and bontani, both indicating breaking apart or opening.
