expandált

Expandált is a Hungarian adjective formed from the verb expandál, meaning to expand or unfold. It denotes that something has been expanded or made more extensive. The term is used as an attributive modifier, for example expandált alak (expanded form), expandált adatok (expanded data), or expandált kifejezés (an expression that has been expanded). It can function in various technical and everyday contexts where a prior concise or compact state is turned into a more detailed one.

Etymology and usage notes: expandál is a borrowed verb, rooted in the idea of spreading out or enlarging. The participle expandált inherits this sense and is employed in technical language to indicate that a process of expansion has occurred. In mathematical writing, expandált form commonly refers to expressions obtained by removing parentheses and combining like terms, producing a sum of individual terms rather than a factored or compact representation.

Mathematical example: consider the expression (x + 1)^2. Its expandált alak is x^2 + 2x + 1. Here, expanding converts a compact form into a polynomial with separate terms.

Other domains: in data processing or description of objects, expandált data or structures may refer to representations where nested or summarized information has been broadened into a more granular or flat form. The exact usage depends on the field and context, but the core idea remains the same: the result of an expansion.
