szétszivárognak

Szétszivárognak is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to leak out," "to seep out," or "to disperse." It is used to describe a process where something, typically a liquid or gas, gradually escapes from a confined space or becomes spread out over a larger area. The word implies a slow, often uncontrolled, movement.

The verb can be used in a literal sense, such as describing water seeping through a crack in a pipe or a gas slowly escaping from a container. In these instances, szétszivárognak highlights the gradual nature of the escape. It can also be employed metaphorically. For example, information or rumors might szétszivárognak from a closed group or organization, meaning they gradually become known to the public. Similarly, people might szétszivárognak from an event or location if they leave gradually and without a clear, organized departure.

The etymology of the word can be broken down into two parts. "Szét-" is a prefix indicating separation or spreading, while "szivárognak" is the plural form of "szivárog," meaning "to leak" or "to seep." Thus, the combined meaning directly reflects the idea of something separating and leaking or seeping out. The usage of this verb emphasizes the diffusion and dispersal of a substance or entity.
