Kiugróan

Kiugróan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a protruding or conspicuously prominent way.” It is used to describe something that stands out visually or figuratively, often modifying a verb or an adjective to indicate extraordinary prominence or outward projection. In usage, kiugróan can convey emphasis similar to feltűnően or kimagaslóan, but with a nuance of outward protrusion or striking conspicuity.

Etymology and form: Kiugróan is formed from the adjective kiugró, meaning protruding or prominent, with the standard adverbial suffix -an. The combination yields an adverb that describes the manner in which something stands out or protrudes, rather than merely how it is.

Usage: The word appears in descriptive prose, architectural critique, landscape descriptions, and journalism when the writer intends to stress an especially noticeable feature. It can modify adjectives or verbs to flag conspicuity, for example in phrases describing architecture, objects, or appearances that are unusually striking.

Examples: A kiugróan magas torony dominálta a városképet. A kiugróan feltűnő logó az épület homlokzatán jól felismerhető volt.

Related terms: feltűnően, kimagaslóan, feltűnő, kimagasló. Kiugróan shares with these words the sense of conspicuity, but kiugróan additionally conveys outward prominence or protrusion in a given context.
