elszálló

elszálló is a Hungarian word that translates to "blown away," "flown away," or "scattered away" in English. It is often used to describe things that have been carried off by the wind, such as leaves, dust, or papers. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe things that have been lost or disappeared, such as memories, hopes, or opportunities.

The etymology of elszálló comes from the Hungarian verb "elszáll," which means "to fly away" or "to blow away." The suffix "-ó" is a present participle ending, indicating an ongoing action. Therefore, elszálló literally means "flying away" or "being blown away."

In literature and poetry, elszálló can evoke a sense of transience, impermanence, or a sense of loss. It can describe the fleeting nature of beauty, youth, or happiness. For example, a poet might describe "elszálló virágok" (blown away flowers) to symbolize the ephemerality of life.

The word is also used in everyday language. One might say that their hat was "elszálló a szélben" (blown away in the wind). In a more figurative sense, someone might lament that their dreams have "elszálló" (blown away or vanished). The context in which elszálló is used determines its precise meaning, but it consistently carries the connotation of movement carried by air and a sense of being dispersed or lost.
