Selejtezett

Selejtezett is a Hungarian word that translates to "scrapped," "discarded," "rejected," or "obsolete" in English. It is primarily used to describe items or entities that have been deemed no longer useful, fit for purpose, or economically viable. This can apply to a wide range of things, from physical objects to abstract concepts.

In the context of material goods, selejtezett often refers to items that have reached the end of their operational lifespan or have been damaged beyond repair. This could include machinery, vehicles, electronics, or even furniture. Once an item is deemed selejtezett, it is typically removed from service and may be disposed of, recycled, or sold for scrap.

The term can also be applied to living beings, such as animals that are no longer fit for breeding or work. In a more figurative sense, selejtezett can describe ideas, plans, or even people that have been rejected or deemed unsuccessful. The connotation is generally one of finality and lack of future utility. The process of selejtezés, or "scrapping," implies a decision has been made to discontinue the use or relevance of something.
