átitatódik

Átitatódik is a Hungarian verb that describes the process of something becoming thoroughly soaked or permeated with a liquid or substance. It implies a deep absorption, where the entire mass or structure takes on the qualities of what it is absorbing. This can apply to physical objects, but also metaphorically to abstract concepts.

In a literal sense, átitatódik can refer to fabric soaking up water, soil absorbing rain, or wood becoming saturated with oil. The word suggests that the liquid has not just coated the surface but has penetrated into the material, changing its properties, such as weight, texture, or color.

Metaphorically, átitatódik can describe how a person or an environment is permeated by an idea, an emotion, or a cultural influence. For example, a society might be described as "átitatódott" by a certain ideology, meaning the ideology has deeply influenced its thinking and behavior. Similarly, a room can be "átitatódott" with the smell of perfume, indicating the scent has diffused throughout the space. The essence of the term is complete immersion and absorption.
