kiugró

Kiugró is a Hungarian adjective meaning protruding or jutting out. It describes something that extends beyond its surroundings, such as a rock ledge or a projecting part of a structure. The word is formed from ki- “out” and ugró, the present participle of ugrani “to jump,” conveying the idea of something that sticks out or juts forward.

In geology and geography, kiugró is used for rock outcrops, ledges, or other features that protrude from a surface. In architecture and construction, kiugró elements are overhangs or extensions that project beyond the main body of a wall or façade. In everyday language, kiugró can describe any conspicuous or prominent feature, though more formal terms such as kiemelkedő or kiemelkedő jellemző are often used for “outstanding.”

The term is primarily used in Hungarian and is typically not capitalized unless part of a proper noun or title. In English-language descriptions of Hungarian landscapes or architecture, kiugró is commonly translated as “protruding,” “outcrop,” or “projecting,” depending on context.

There is no widely recognized standalone English equivalent for kiugró beyond these translations, and readers should rely on context to choose the most appropriate rendering.
