elhomályos

Elhomályos is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to be or become dim, obscure, or hazy." It can refer to a literal fading of light or clarity, or a more metaphorical sense of something becoming less clear, less significant, or harder to understand.

In a literal sense, elhomályos can describe the weather, such as the sun becoming obscured by clouds, making the day dim. It can also refer to vision becoming less sharp, perhaps due to fatigue or poor lighting conditions. For example, someone might say their vision is elhomályos after staring at a screen for too long.

Metaphorically, elhomályos can be used to describe the fading of memories, the blurring of distinctions, or the diminishment of a person's reputation or influence. A once-prominent politician might find their public image has elhomályos over time. Similarly, the details of a past event might elhomályos as years pass. The word suggests a gradual loss of sharpness and definition, moving from a state of clarity to one of indistinctness. It implies a process rather than an abrupt change.
