mintázott

Mintázott is a Hungarian adjective meaning "patterned" or "bearing a design." It describes surfaces, fabrics, ceramics, and other objects that display a visible motif created by printing, weaving, embroidery, or other decorative processes. The word derives from the noun minta (pattern, design) and the verb mintázni (to pattern or imprint). The suffix -ott forms the past participle used as an adjective, indicating that the object has been given a particular pattern.

Usage and scope: In textiles and fashion, mintázott textiles are fabrics with printed or woven motifs such as flowers, geometric shapes, or abstract designs. In ceramics and glass, mintázott surfaces show repeated decorative motifs. In interior design, mintázott wallpaper or tiles create a recurring pattern. The term is often found in technical or descriptive contexts, but it also appears in everyday language.

Relation to related terms: A closely related word is mintás, which is more common in everyday speech and emphasizes the presence of a pattern. Mintázott can be more formal or technical and may emphasize the process by which the pattern was created, rather than merely the existence of a pattern.

Examples: A ruháján mintázott anyag található. A falon virágmintázat látható. A csempe mintázott felülettel rendelkezik.
