The word is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb pótol. The root of the verb, "pótol," itself signifies the act of replacing something that is missing, deficient, or lost.

The verb pótolnak is used in various contexts. For example, if a team has lost a player due to injury, the coach might say, "Új játékost pótolnak" which means "They will replace a new player."
