Összpontosított

Összpontosított is a Hungarian adjective and past participle of the verb összpontosítani. It describes something directed toward a single point or goal, typically implying focus, concentration, or the deliberate allocation of attention, energy, or resources. The term is used in everyday language as well as in scientific, academic, and professional contexts to indicate a narrowing of scope or a targeted approach. Common collocations include összpontosított figyelem, összpontosított erőforrások, and összpontosított vizsgálat.

Etymology and sense: The word is built from the prefix össz- (together, toward a common point) and the root pontos (point, precise) with the participial suffix -ított, yielding a meaning akin to “brought to a point” or “made precise.” In use, összpontosított typically modifies nouns to convey that attention, effort, or means have been directed toward a particular objective. It can describe both abstract phenomena (figyelem, energia, kutatás) and concrete arrangements (módszerek, folyamatok).

Usage and nuance: Összpontosított often carries a neutral to positive connotation, signaling efficiency, precision, or strategic targeting. It is closely related to, and sometimes interchangeable with, synonyms such as fókuszált and koncentrált, while its antonym is typically szétszórt (scattered, unfocused). The term can appear in descriptions of cognitive, operational, or technical processes, as well as in rhetoric about prioritization and goal-oriented activity. In some contexts, it may contrast with centralized or broad-based approaches by emphasizing a single focal point rather than diffuse attention.
