Megszok

Megszok is not a standard Hungarian word. The form megszok is typically a truncation, misspelling, or informal shorthand of the canonical verb megszokni, which means to get used to or to become accustomed to. In normative Hungarian, megszok functions as a non-lemma string rather than a full dictionary entry; correct conjugation uses megszokni as the infinitive.

Etymology and relation to other terms: megszok is built from the prefix meg- attached to a root related to szokás (habit). The intended sense is the completion or intensification of becoming accustomed, a nuance preserved in the standard megszokni and its related forms. Lexical relatives include szokni, szokás, megszokik and hozzászokik, which are used in normal discourse to express becoming accustomed.

Usage and examples: Because megszok is not a recognized base form, it is rarely, if ever, used in formal writing. To express the idea properly, speakers rely on megszokni in various tenses or on hozzászokik to indicate adapting to something. Examples in standard Hungarian include: "A gyerek hamar megszokta az új környezetet." (The child quickly got used to the new environment.) and "Hozzászokik az emberek az új helyzethez." (People become accustomed to the new situation.)

Notes: In linguistic discussion, megszok may appear only as a mnemonic or orthographic shorthand in certain texts, but it is not considered a legitimate dictionary entry. For precise communication, prefer megszokni and its inflected forms.
