Gyógyult

Gyógyult is a Hungarian word meaning “recovered” or “having recovered.” It is the past participle of the verb gyógyul (to heal, to recover) and is used as an adjective to describe a person or case that has regained health after illness or injury. In everyday language it appears in sentences such as “A beteg már gyógyult” or “Ő gyógyult a fertőzésből.” It can also function as a finite verb form in the past tense, as in “A beteg gyógyult tegnap.”

Variants and nuances: prefixes can alter the sense of recovery. Meggyógyult indicates a full or complete recovery, while felgyógyult emphasizes regaining health or returning to a normal state. The choice of prefix depends on degree, emphasis, or context.

Etymology and morphology: gyógyul means to heal or recover; gyógyult is formed with the past participle suffix -t. When used as a finite verb, it is inflected for person and number (gyógyulok, gyógyulsz, gyógyulnak). As an adjective, gyógyult agrees with the noun it describes, e.g., gyógyult beteg.

Usage notes: gyógyult should not be confused with related forms such as gyógyító (healer) or gyógyítás (treatment). Its primary function is to convey that healing has occurred, either in a simple predicate or as part of larger verb phrases describing a patient’s health status.
