Titkolt

Titkolt is the Hungarian adjective and past participle meaning hidden, concealed, or kept secret. It derives from the verb titkolni (“to conceal”) and functions as an attribute or predicate describing information, motives, or actions that have been intentionally kept from others. The root titok means secret, and the participle form with the suffix -t signals a completed, state-like condition.

In usage, titkolt describes things or intentions that are not disclosed by choice or necessity. It is commonly found in phrases such as titkolt szándék (a hidden intention), titkolt tartalom (concealed content), or titkolt információk (secret information). The term carries a neutral to slightly negative nuance, foregrounding deliberate concealment rather than mere secrecy. It is occasionally contrasted with rejtett, which can denote hidden in a more general or natural sense.

Grammatically, titkolt behaves as an adjective and agrees with the noun in number and case, usable in attributive or predicative positions (titkolt információk; az információk titkolt volt). Related forms include titkolni (to conceal) and titkolózik (to behave in a secretive way). A related noun is titkolás (“concealment”).
