Rejtettebb

Rejtettebb is a Hungarian adjective—the comparative form of rejtett meaning hidden or concealed—used to describe a higher degree of concealment than another entity. It denotes that something is more hidden or less obvious.

Formation and form: The word is formed from the verb rejt (to hide) with the past participle suffix -ett to create rejtett (hidden). The comparative is formed by adding the suffix -ettebb, yielding rejtettebb. The spelling reflects the root's final -tt, so the word is written rejtettebb.

Usage: Rejtettebb is common in literary, journalistic and academic writing to compare levels of concealment. It can modify nouns or function predicatively: for example, Ez a rejtekhely rejtettebb, mint a többi (This hiding place is more hidden than the others). It can describe both physical concealment and abstract concealment, such as information, motives, or explanations becoming harder to discern.

Nuance: The term often conveys a sense of deliberate or intricate concealment, not merely a lack of visibility, and is typically used when a higher degree of secrecy or complexity is implied.
