Szétoszlott

Szétoszlott is a Hungarian verb that translates to "dispersed," "scattered," or "dissipated" in English. It describes the action of something breaking apart into smaller pieces or spreading out over a wider area, losing its original cohesion. The verb is derived from the prefix "szét-," meaning "apart" or "out," and the verb "oszlani," which means "to divide" or "to decay."

The term can be used in a variety of contexts. In a physical sense, it might refer to a crowd dispersing after an event, smoke dissipating into the air, or a substance breaking down into its constituent parts. For example, a flock of birds might szétoszlott when startled, or a fog might szétoszlott as the sun rises.

Beyond the physical, szétoszlott can also describe abstract concepts. A rumor might szétoszlott throughout a community, or a united front might szétoszlott due to internal disagreements. In a more emotional context, it could indicate that a group's enthusiasm or determination has dissipated. The verb implies a loss of unity, focus, or concentration, leading to a less organized or concentrated state. Its usage often carries a sense of things becoming less defined or less together.
