elhomályosul

elhomályosul is a Hungarian verb meaning "to become dim," "to fade," or "to become blurred." It describes a process of losing clarity, brightness, or definition. This can apply to visual perception, such as when light sources dim or eyesight deteriorates. It can also be used metaphorically to describe abstract concepts losing their sharpness or becoming less distinct, such as memories fading over time or a once clear objective becoming obscure.

The verb is formed from the root "homály," which means "gloom" or "dimness." The suffix "-osul" indicates a process of becoming or turning into something. Therefore, elhomályosul literally means "to become dim." Its usage is common in everyday Hungarian conversation and literature, reflecting a nuanced understanding of gradual decline in visibility or clarity. For example, one might say the lights are elhomályosul, meaning they are dimming, or their memories of childhood are elhomályosul, indicating they are becoming less vivid. The opposite of elhomályosul would be terms indicating becoming brighter or clearer.
