kikapcsolt

Kikapcsolt is a Hungarian adjective and past participle derived from the verb kikapcsolni, meaning to turn off or disconnect. It describes a device, system, or function that is not active, either because it is powered down or deliberately disengaged.

Etymology and usage: The word combines ki- (out, off) with kapcsolni (to connect). As an adjective it can modify a noun (kikapcsolt készülék) or be used in predicative constructions (a készülék kikapcsolt állapotban van). The related noun is kikapcsolás, meaning the act of turning off or deactivation. The opposite state is bekapcsolt, and related phrases include bekapcsolás (turning on) and bekapcsolt állapot (the on state).

Contexts and semantics: In everyday language, kikapcsolt typically refers to electrical devices that are not drawing power. In electronics and computing, it describes the state after a power-down, shutdown, or disconnection. In software, a feature may be described as kikapcsolt when it has been disabled, either temporarily or permanently for security, performance, or policy reasons. In safety and maintenance contexts, equipment is often kept in kikapcsolt állapot during servicing, and signage may indicate that the device is in a kikapcsolt állapot or that it must be kikapcsolva before work begins.
