Keresztezett

Keresztezett is a Hungarian adjective meaning "crossed" or "intersected." It is the past participle of keresztezni ("to cross") and uses the suffix -ett. It is used to describe something formed by crossing two elements, such as lines that intersect or, more commonly, organisms produced by crossbreeding.

In biology and agriculture, keresztezett describes a crossbred variety or individual resulting from mating two distinct breeds or varieties. Crossing is used to combine desired traits, such as higher yield, improved disease resistance, or particular flavors. When a population or line is not crossbred, it may be described as "tiszta fajta" (pure breed). The term also appears in horticulture and animal breeding literature.

In everyday language, keresztezett can describe intersecting features or structures, for example keresztezett utak or keresztezett vonalak meaning intersecting roads or lines. The sense relies on the general concept of crossing rather than any special technical field. The word is productive in Hungarian and can form related nouns such as keresztezés (the act of crossing) and kereszteződés (the intersection).
