Átiratú

Átiratú is an adjective in Hungarian formed from the verb átírni, meaning to rewrite or transcribe, with the prefix át- indicating alteration or transfer. The term describes text or documents whose content has been changed or revised relative to an original version. In practice, átiratú can denote a rewritten, amended, or updated version rather than a mere copy.

The concept is most often used in archival, editorial, legal, or bibliographic contexts. An átiratú document may result from corrections, updates, or modernization, and it can also refer to a transcription that introduces deliberate changes. The designation helps distinguish such texts from untouched originals or simple copies.

Common usage includes phrases like átiratú szerződés (a rewritten contract), átiratú kézirat (an amended manuscript), or átiratú jegyzet (revised notes). The term emphasizes the act of rewriting or revising rather than the mere existence of a duplicate.

Compared to related terms, átiratú highlights modification to the content, whereas másolat typically refers to a straightforward copy and helyesbített or módosított focus more on corrections or alterations without implying a full rewrite. In historical or archival descriptions, avisos about an átiratú text help researchers understand the provenance and the degree of textual change relative to the original source.
