nagyított

Nagyított is a Hungarian term that functions as a past participle and adjective formed from the verb nagyít, meaning to enlarge or magnify. As an adjective, nagyított describes something that has been made larger, whether in a literal sense (such as images or objects) or in a figurative sense (such as claims or descriptions that have been exaggerated).

In usage, nagyított is most common in imaging, printing, and microscopy. A nagyított felvétel is a magnified shot, a nagyított kép is an enlarged image, and a nagyítás refers to the process or result of enlargement or zoom. The word can also appear in technical descriptions of lenses, displays, or scale models where magnification is involved. In non-technical, figurative language, nagyított can describe sensationalized or overstated presentations, for example nagyított állítások or nagyított események, meaning exaggerated statements or events.

Etymology and form: the word derives from nagy, meaning big, with the causative/iterative suffix -ít to form the verb nagyít, and the past participle suffix -ott to yield nagyított. This construction is common in Hungarian for turning verbs into adjectives that describe a result or state.
