Lassított

Lassított is the past participle of the Hungarian verb lassít, meaning to slow down, decelerate, or retard. As an adjective, it describes something that has been slowed or is designed to operate at a slower speed. The word is formed from the root lass- (related to lassú, slow) with the causative suffix -ít and typical Hungarian inflectional endings.

Common usages appear in several contexts. In film and photography, lassított felvétel refers to slow-motion footage, typically created by recording at a higher frame rate and playing back at a normal speed. In video and audio playback, lassított lejátszás denotes slow playback. In engineering and mechanics, lassított üzemmód or lassító mechanizmus describes configurations or devices that reduce speed. In everyday language, the term can describe any process or action that has been slowed down, such as decelerating a vehicle or moderating a process in software or machinery.

Lassított is widely understood in Hungarian and appears in media, technical writing, and instructional texts where speed reduction is relevant. Its exact English equivalent depends on context, with translations such as slowed, slow-motion, or decelerated.
