zavarosabb

Zavarosabb is a Hungarian adjective forming the comparative degree of zavaros. It is used to describe something that is more murky, turbid, or unclear than another thing, and it can refer to physical qualities (such as water or air) as well as to non-physical qualities (such as information, explanations, or situations). The sense is determined by context, and the word can carry either a literal or a figurative meaning.

Morphology and usage: zavarosabb is created by adding the comparative suffix -abb to the stem zavaros, yielding zavarosabb. It is used in both predicative and attributive positions, for example: "A víz zavarosabb lett az esőzés hatására" or "A helyzet zavarosabb, mint korábban." In comparisons, the phrase often appears with mint: "ez a történet zavarosabb, mint a korábbi verzió." When describing turbidity, it can describe liquids or atmospheres; when describing cognition or communication, it conveys higher ambiguity or confusion.

Semantics and nuance: zavarosabb commonly signals increased opacity or confusion relative to a reference point. It can be employed in scientific, journalistic, or literary contexts, as well as in everyday speech. A closely related term is homályosabb, which also denotes lack of clarity but with a slightly different nuance, often emphasizing obscurity rather than turbidity. The noun zavar and the adjective zavaros share the same root, linking the sense of disturbance or confusion to the idea of reduced clarity.
