lekapcsol

Lekapcsol is a Hungarian verb meaning to disconnect, switch off, or shut down a device, circuit, or network link. It is formed with the prefix le-, indicating cessation or removal, attached to the root kapcsol (from the verb kapcs- related to connection). The exact translation depends on context and can refer to cutting power, ending a connection, or disabling a device.

Common contexts include electrical installations, where a main switch is turned off: for example, a fuse or main switch can be lekapcsolt. In computing, lekapcsol may describe shutting down a computer or disconnecting a machine from a power source: "A számítógépet lekapcsolták." In networking or telecommunications, the term can describe severing a link or terminating a connection, such as a VPN or a data link being lekapcsolva.

Grammatical notes: lekapcsol is a transitive verb. The past tense forms are lekapcsolt, with plural subjects taking lekapcsolták. The participle is lekapcsolva. It tends to emphasize the act of removing power or breaking a connection performed by an agent or a system.

Related terms include kikapcsolás (the act of turning off), kapcsoló (switch), and kapcsolat (connection). The noun kikapcsolás is commonly used to refer to the process or result of turning something off, while lekapcsol focuses more on the act of disconnecting or removing an existing connection or power supply.
