ezüstös

Ezüstös is a Hungarian adjective meaning silvery or silver-like. It describes appearance or color that resembles silver, often indicating a metallic or reflective quality rather than a specific metallic composition. The word is formed from the noun ezüst (silver) with the suffix -ös, which turns it into an attribute describing something that has the quality of silver.

Usage and examples: Ezüstös is used to describe objects, surfaces, or phenomena with a silvery appearance. For example, ezüstös színű ruhadarabok means silvery-colored garments, ezüstös fény refers to a silvery light, and ezüstös szőrű macska describes a cat with a silvery coat. The term functions as a descriptive color term in everyday language, design, and literature.

Nuance and scope: Ezüstös emphasizes appearance and surface properties—shine, cool gray tone, and metallic luster—rather than chemical composition. It can be applied to natural elements such as moonlight, frost, or fish scales, as well as to man-made objects like jewelry or textiles to convey a bright, reflective aesthetic. In general use, it is a neutral descriptive term rather than a statement about material content, though it often implies a close visual or stylistic association with silver.
