páncélozott

Páncélozott is a Hungarian word that translates to "armored" or "armoured" in English. It is primarily used as an adjective to describe something that is protected by armor, such as a vehicle, a person, or a structure. The term can also be used figuratively to denote being well-defended or protected against attack or criticism.

In a military context, páncélozott is frequently applied to vehicles like tanks (páncélozott harckocsi), armored personnel carriers, and warships. It signifies a layer of protective plating designed to withstand ballistic impacts and other forms of damage. Beyond military applications, the word can describe a person wearing armor, such as a knight in historical contexts.

Figuratively, a person might be described as páncélozott if they are emotionally guarded or resistant to emotional vulnerability. Similarly, a company or organization could be described as páncélozott if it has implemented strong security measures or is perceived as being resistant to external pressures. The core meaning consistently revolves around the concept of protection and defense through a hardened or reinforced exterior.
