Megfogalmazódott

Megfogalmazódott is a Hungarian verb form used to describe that something has come to be formulated, expressed, or clearly articulated. It is the past tense of megfogalmazódik, an intransitive verb built from fogalmaz (to formulate or phrase) with the prefix meg- and the middle-voice suffix -ódik. The combination conveys a process of emergence or crystallization, rather than a simple one-time action.

The expression commonly refers to ideas, opinions, explanations, or plans that have gradually formed or become explicit. It can indicate that a thought has taken shape in the mind, or that a position or explanation has been articulated in discourse. In journalism, academic writing, and public speaking, it is often used to mark a moment when something previously implicit has become clearly stated.

Usage examples include: "A gondolat megfogalmazódott benne." (The thought formed in him.) or "Az álláspont megfogalmazódott a vitában." (The stance was formulated in the debate.) The phrase emphasizes the developmental aspect of formulation rather than a sudden revelation.

Etymology-wise, megfogalmazódott derives from megfogalmazódik, combining meg- with fogalmazni (to formulate) and the intransitive -ódik suffix, signaling a process of coming into being.
