elszáll

Elszáll is a Hungarian verb. It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb elszállni. The verb elszállni generally translates to "to fly away," "to blow away," or "to pass away." Therefore, "elszáll" can mean "it flew away," "it blew away," or "it passed away."

The specific meaning of "elszáll" depends heavily on the context in which it is used. For instance, if talking about a bird, "A madár elszállt a fáról" would mean "The bird flew away from the tree." If referring to a scent or a sound, "A szag elszállt a levegőben" would mean "The smell blew away in the air." It can also be used metaphorically. For example, "Az idő elszáll" translates to "Time passes away" or "Time flies." In a more somber context, it can refer to the passing of life, though other verbs might be more common for this specific meaning.

The root of the verb is "száll," meaning "to fly," "to soar," or "to float." The prefix "el-" indicates separation or departure, reinforcing the idea of moving away. Thus, "elszáll" inherently carries the meaning of a departure by flying or floating. The conjugation to the past tense, third-person singular makes it applicable to a singular subject performing the action of flying away or passing.
