Lekapcsolt

Lekapcsolt is a Hungarian term formed from the verb lekapcsolni (to disconnect, to switch off) with the suffix -t to form a past participle used as an adjective. It denotes a state in which a device, circuit, or line is not energized or is electrically isolated. The prefix le- indicates separation or cessation, while kapcsolni means to connect or to switch on, so lekapcsolt literally means “not connected” or “switched off.”

Usage and scope: In electrical engineering and electronics, lekapcsolt describes equipment that is de-energized. For example, A készülék lekapcsolt állapotban van means the device is in the off state. In safety and maintenance contexts, lines and equipment are kept lekapcsolt or lekapcsolva to ensure work can be performed safely. The term also appears in computing and telecommunications to indicate that a connection or port is temporarily disconnected.

Related forms and contrasts: The antonym is bekapcsolt, meaning switched on or connected. Related nouns include lekapcsolás (the act of disconnecting) and bekapcsolás (the act of turning on). In everyday language, lekapcsolt can describe lights, switches, circuits, or entire systems that are not currently active.
