Összeszorítva

"Összeszorítva" is a Hungarian word that translates to "clenched" or "pressed together" in English. It can refer to a physical action or a state of being.

As a physical action, "összeszorítva" describes the act of tightly holding something in one's hand, such as a fist being clenched in anger or frustration. It can also describe the closing of jaws or lips with force. In a broader sense, it can mean squeezing or compressing an object. For instance, "a szorosan összeszorított zacskó" would refer to a tightly sealed bag.

In a more abstract or metaphorical sense, "összeszorítva" can describe a feeling of tension, anxiety, or unease. A person might feel their chest is "összeszorítva" when experiencing fear or worry, indicating a tightness or constricting sensation. It can also describe a situation where resources are limited or a person is under pressure, as in "nehéz időkben, amikor minden porcikánk összeszorítva kell, hogy dolgozzon" (in difficult times when every fiber of our being must work under pressure).

The word's etymology stems from the verb "szorít," meaning to press or squeeze. The prefix "össze-" indicates bringing things together or compressing them. Therefore, "összeszorítva" fundamentally conveys the idea of being brought into a tight, compressed state.
