sokragozó

Sokragozó is a Hungarian term that translates roughly to "many-colored" or "multicolored." It is used to describe something that possesses a variety of distinct colors, often in a vibrant or striking manner. The term is not limited to a specific category of objects or phenomena but can be applied broadly to anything exhibiting a rich and diverse chromatic palette.

For instance, sokragozó could describe a tapestry woven with numerous threads of different hues, a mosaic composed of many-colored tiles, or a landscape at autumn when the leaves display a spectrum of reds, oranges, and yellows. It can also refer to the plumage of certain birds, the scales of fish, or even the abstract patterns found in natural formations. The emphasis is on the presence of multiple, clearly discernible colors that contribute to a lively and varied visual appearance.

The word itself is derived from the Hungarian words "sok" meaning "many" and "ragyog" meaning "to shine" or "to glitter," with the suffix "-zó" indicating a present participle or an adjective describing the action. This etymology suggests a sense of shimmering or lively color. While a direct English equivalent like "multicolored" or "variegated" exists, sokragozó often carries a connotation of a more dynamic and perhaps even dazzling display of colors.
