Megkutatott

Megkutatott is a Hungarian past participle and adjective formed from the verb kutat (to research, to investigate) with the prefix meg- indicating completion or thoroughness, and the suffix -ott marking the past participle. As a result, megkutatott primarily means "thoroughly investigated" or "investigated in depth." In use it often modifies nouns, for example megkutatott adatok (thoroughly investigated data) or egy megkutatott módszer (a thoroughly researched method). Grammatically it behaves as a predicative or attributive adjective and can appear in past tense contexts with appropriate agreement.

Etymology: compounds formed with meg- are common in Hungarian to express thorough or completed action. The verb kutat belongs to the class of -at/-at verbs, and the participle form -ott can reflect either perfective aspect or completed action depending on context.

Usage notes: The term is stylistically formal or technical and may be more common in academic writing, reports, or journalism. In everyday language, speakers might prefer alaposan megvizsgált or alaposan kivizsgált depending on nuance.

Examples: A megkutatott adatbázis hibamentes volt (The thoroughly investigated database was error-free). A megkutatott tanulmány szerint… (According to the thoroughly researched study…).
