garatkapcsolatú

garatkapcsolatú is a Hungarian adjective derived from garat (horn) and kapcsolat (connection). In Hungarian usage it literally means “having a horn connection” and figuratively refers to objects or systems that are joined or linked together by a coupling arrangement, especially in technical contexts. The term is most often found in engineering literature to describe devices or components that are physically or functionally connected through a mechanical or electrical coupling. Examples include "garatkapcsolatú szellőzőventilátor" (a ventilator with a horn‑connected fan) and "garatkapcsolatú mérőeszköz" (a coupled measuring instrument).

The adjective is cognate with the English word “coupled”, and it can apply to a variety of coupling mechanisms: hinges, bellows, clerical breathing devices, and even wave‑guides in microwave engineering. In textile technology the word can describe a yarn that has been twisted or wound in a characteristic horned pattern, thereby giving a mechanical bond between strands.

In Hungarian technical dictionaries the term appears under both “coupled” and “connected” in glossaries of mechanical engineering, signal processing, and field‑testing equipment. Its usage is thus largely restricted to specialized fields and is not common in everyday speech.
