csatolós

Csatolós is a Hungarian adjective describing something that is fastened with a clasp, buckle, or similar closure. It denotes a method of securing two parts together using a fastening device, as opposed to closures such as buttons, zippers, or magnetic snaps. The term derives from the verb csatolni, meaning to fasten with a clasp, and the suffix -s forming an attributive adjective.

In usage, csatolós is commonly found in product descriptions, fashion, textiles, and accessories to indicate that a garment or item uses a clasp-based closure. Examples include csatolós öv (a belt with a clasp), csatolós táska or csatolós oldaltáska (bags with clasps), and csatolós kabát (a coat fastened with a clasp). The word can also apply to equipment or components that employ clasps or latches for secure closure.

Csatolós closures encompass various mechanisms, such as metal clasps (csat), buckles, and snap-like fasteners, and they are contrasted with other closure types like gombos (buttoned) and zip-based systems. The term is primarily used in Hungarian-language contexts and may be translated in English-language descriptions as “clasp-fastened” or “with a clasp/buckle.”

See also: csat (clasp), kapocs (clip or hook), gomb (button), zip (zipper). The concept of csatolós is part of a broader discussion of fastening systems used in clothing, bags, belts, and equipment.
