Tömörített is a Hungarian adjective meaning "compressed" or "dense" as produced by compression or compaction. It is the past participle of the verb tömörít (to compress, to compact) and is formed with the suffix -ített. The term describes things that have been made more dense or reduced in volume, in contrast to their original state. It is commonly used across different fields to denote a state achieved through a process of compression or compaction.

In information technology and data processing, tömörített adat refers to data that has been reduced in size by a compression algorithm. Such data is stored as tömörített állományok or tömörített fájlok, typically with extensions like zip, gz, or rar. The process is tömörítés, and a tömörítő program (compressor) applies algorithms that can be lossless or lossy, depending on the application.

In engineering and construction, tömörített talaj refers to soil that has been compacted to increase density and strength, usually by mechanical methods such as rollers or rammers. This concept is central to earthworks, road construction, and foundation design. In pneumatics and fluids, tömörített levegő means compressed air, which is air pressurized above ambient atmospheric pressure for use in tools and systems.
