ábrázolt

Ábrázolt is a Hungarian adjective formed as the past participle of the verb ábrázol, meaning to depict or portray. The word describes something that has been represented or depicted, rather than existing in reality. It is commonly used in art criticism, film and literary analysis, and scholarly writing to refer to scenes, figures, or events that appear in a visual or narrative representation.

In grammar, ábrázolt is a participial adjective. It can modify a noun, for example: az ábrázolt jelenet (the depicted scene), az ábrázolt alakok (the depicted figures), the ábrázolt valóság (the depicted reality). It can also appear in phrases describing representation or depiction within a work, as in ábrázolt tartalom (depicted content) or ábrázolt világ (depicted/portrayed world). The base verb is ábrázol, and the -olt suffix forms the past participle used adjectivally.

Etymology traces back to the verb ábrázol, meaning to depict or present in representation. The form ábrázolt has a descriptive function, distinguishing what is represented from what is real, and is frequently found in discussions of art, media, and textual analysis.
