Tágította

Tágította is a Hungarian verb form, specifically the third-person singular past tense of the verb tágít, meaning to widen, dilate, or expand. The base tágít denotes the action of making something broader or larger, either in a literal sense (such as openings or pupils) or in a figurative sense (such as the scope of influence or possibilities). The form tágította is used when the action is completed and the direct object is definite, as in sentences where the doer widens something specific.

In practical use, tágította can describe physical dilation, for example dilating pupils in bright light or widening an opening during a procedure. It can also be used metaphorically to indicate broadening boundaries, opportunities, or influence. The verb is commonly found in medical, scientific, and descriptive prose, but it also appears in everyday language when describing any act of enlargement or expansion.

Morphologically, tágította is formed from the stem tágít plus the past definite suffix -otta, signaling third-person singular past action with a definite object. Related forms include tágít (present), tágította (past definite), and tágított (past indefinite or imperfect, depending on context). Related nouns and adjectives include tágítás (dilation, widening) and tágító (dilator).

Etymologically, tágít derives from tág, meaning wide, combined with the causative suffix -ít, which yields a verb meaning to cause widening. The term tágítás refers to the process or result of widening, while tágító denotes an instrument or agent that causes dilation.
