Higított

Higított is the past participle and an adjective in Hungarian meaning “diluted” or “thinned with a solvent.” It describes liquids or mixtures that have been made less concentrated by adding a diluent, typically water or another solvent. The term is commonly used in scientific, pharmaceutical, culinary, and everyday contexts to distinguish between concentrated and diluted preparations.

Etymology and usage notes: Higított derives from the root adjective híg, meaning thin or dilute, with the derivational suffix -ított forming a past participle that describes something that has been made thin or less concentrated. The related noun hígítás refers to the act or process of dilution.

Contexts and examples: In science and medicine, one might encounter “higított oldat” (diluted solution) or “higított készítmény” (diluted preparation). In food and beverage contexts, terms like “higított szirup” (diluted syrup) or “higított gyümölcslé” (diluted juice) may be used to indicate a product that has been watered down to achieve a desired concentration. In laboratory protocols, instructions often specify the target concentration after dilution, for example, a solution prepared to a certain molarity or mass fraction.
