Tömörebbek

Tömörebbek is a Hungarian term that functions as the plural form of the comparative adjective tömör, meaning dense or compact. The form is typically used as a nominalized adjective to refer to a subset of items that are more compact or denser than others in a given group. The suffix -ek signals that several such items are being described. In Hungarian technical writing, tömörebbek serves as a practical descriptive label rather than a fixed term with a standardized definition.

Usage and scope: The exact meaning of tömörebbek depends on context. In botany or horticulture, it may describe plant habit, such as denser foliage or tighter inflorescences. In materials science or geology, it can refer to samples with greater density or a more compact microstructure. Because it is an ordinary adjective used as a noun, tömörebbek does not come with universal criteria; authors usually specify the measurement or threshold alongside the term.

Examples: In a comparative study of cultivars, the tömörebbek differ from the looser forms by having tighter branching and more compact growth. In a materials report, tömörebbek specimens showed higher bulk density and closer particle packing.
