csúcsot

Csúcsot is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun csúcs, which means peak, summit, apex or tip. The word csúcs is used in geographic contexts to denote the highest point of a mountain or hill, in architecture for the apex of a roof, and in mathematics or graphing to describe a vertex or a point of maximum value. It can also appear in figurative language to signify the culmination or pinnacle of a process, period, or trend.

In everyday language, csúcs can refer to the topmost part of any object or phenomenon, not limited to physical height. The form csúcsot is the direct object form used when the peak is the object of a verb, for example in sentences like “Megmászták a csúcsot” (They climbed the peak) or “A grafikon a csúcsot mutatja” (The graph shows the peak). The plural form is csúcsok, and other related forms include csúcsain (at the peaks) or csúcsának/csúcsát for possessive or definite constructions, depending on the sentence structure.

Etymology of csúcs is not definitively established. It is an old Hungarian word with a long attestation in historical texts, and while some theories exist about its origins, there is no universal consensus. Today, csúcs is a common term across disciplines and registers, and csúcsot remains the standard accusative singular form used when the peak is the object of an action.
