eláll

Eláll is a Hungarian verb formed by adding the prefix el- to áll (to stand). It denotes the cessation or end of a state, process, or ongoing event, often implying that a temporary condition is coming to an end. The sense is one of completion or removal rather than mere interruption, and it is commonly used about weather or atmospheric phenomena.

In usage, it is frequent in meteorology: az eső eláll (the rain stops); a köd eláll (the fog lifts). It can also be used to describe the end of other phenomena that diminish or disappear, though weather-related uses are the most common. In literary or figurative style, eláll can indicate the closing of a phase or ongoing motion, but such uses are less frequent.

Morphology and grammar: eláll is a prefixal verb formed from áll and follows standard Hungarian conjugation patterns for verbs with the el- prefix. This means it forms the usual person-tense endings (present, past, conditional, etc.) in the same way as other prefixed verbs, with the exact form depending on subject and tense.

Etymology: the word derives from the base áll with the prefix el-, which in Hungarian commonly signals cessation, end, or separation. The construction is well established in both historical and contemporary usage.
