mosómedencés

Mosómedencés is a Hungarian adjective used to describe something that has or is equipped with a mosómedence, a washing basin or trough. The term is formed from the elements mosó (washing) and medence (basin, pool) with the suffix -es to create an attributive adjective. It is primarily found in architectural, historical, or technical descriptions where the presence of a built-in washing facility is noted.

In practice, mosómedencés describes rooms, buildings, or equipment that include a washing basin as part of their design. Common contexts include descriptions of older residential layouts, such as kitchens or utility spaces with integrated wash basins, as well as farm outbuildings or public facilities where washing troughs were installed. The usage tends to be specialized, appearing mainly in architectural surveys, restoration reports, or inventory catalogs rather than everyday language.

Today, the term is relatively uncommon in contemporary Hungarian, where mosdó (washbasin) or mosogató (washing sink) are more frequently used. Mosómedencés remains most relevant for historical descriptions, preservation work, or studies of sanitary facilities in past buildings. See also related terms such as mosdó, mosogató, and mosómedence.
