megvastagodik

Megvastagodik is a Hungarian verb meaning "to become thicker" or "to thicken." It is formed from the adjective vastag (thick) with the intransitive suffix -odik and the prefix meg-, which signals a change of state. The verb describes a process in which the thickness or density of a substance increases, often gradually. It is intransitive; the subject is the thing that thickens (for example a liquid, a cream, fog, or a sauce). The infinitive is megvastagodni, and the past tense form is megvastagodott. In present tense, megvastagodik is used for ongoing thickening, as in a soup that thickens as it cooks.

Common contexts include cooking (sauce or soup thickening as it simmers or cools), weather or atmosphere (fog thickening), and materials or cosmetics (creams or gels thickening under certain conditions). Etymology: the word derives from vastag (thick) with the verb suffix -odik, augmented by the prefix meg- to indicate a change of state.
