zúzalékos

Zúzalékos is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "gravelly" or "stony" in English. It describes a surface or material that is composed of or contains a significant amount of gravel or small stones. This term is commonly used in various contexts, including geology, construction, and everyday descriptions of terrain.

In a geological context, zúzalékos refers to soil or rock formations characterized by the presence of coarse-grained fragments. This can indicate past geological processes such as erosion or glacial activity. For example, a zúzalékos soil might be found in riverbeds or areas with significant weathering.

In construction and infrastructure, the term zúzalékos is often applied to road surfaces or building materials. A zúzalékos road is one that is unpaved or made with a gravel base, which can be dusty and uneven. Similarly, certain types of concrete mixes or aggregates might be described as zúzalékos if they contain a high proportion of small stones.

Beyond these technical applications, zúzalékos can be used more generally to describe any surface that feels rough or uneven due to the presence of small stones. This could include a garden path, a beach area, or even the texture of certain food items, although such uses are less common. The core meaning consistently revolves around the presence and effect of gravel or small stones.
