Rejtés

Rejtés is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or result of concealing something from view, as well as a hidden place where something is kept. It is formed from the verb rejt, “to hide,” with the nominal suffix -és. The term covers both concealment as a process and the state of being hidden, and it can refer to a location intended to keep objects out of sight.

In use, rejtés appears in contexts such as concealment of information, secrets, or emotions, as well as in descriptions of hidden caches or storage. The word is neutral in tone and common in both everyday speech and more formal writing. It is closely related to elrejtés (the act of hiding away) and rejtek (a hideout or stash). The distinction is that rejtek emphasizes the physical place, whereas rejtés emphasizes the act or state of concealment.

Etymology and related terms: the noun rejtés comes from rejt (“to hide”) plus -és. Related forms include elrejtés (to hide away) and rejtek (hideout).
