törölköz

törölköz is the Hungarian word for towel. It refers to a piece of absorbent fabric or paper used for drying oneself or other surfaces. In a domestic context, towels are commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens, used for drying hands, bodies after bathing, and dishes after washing. They come in various sizes and materials, with cotton being a popular choice due to its absorbency and durability. Specialized towels exist for different purposes, such as beach towels, hand towels, bath towels, and kitchen towels, each designed with specific features for their intended use. The word "törölköz" itself is derived from the Hungarian verb "töröl," meaning to wipe. The suffix "-köz" can indicate a tool or instrument. Therefore, "törölköz" literally translates to "wiping tool." In a broader sense, any item used for absorbing moisture and wiping surfaces could be considered a type of törölköz. The material, texture, and absorbency are key characteristics defining its function.
