összekapcsol

Összekapcsol is a Hungarian verb meaning to connect or to interconnect, i.e., to link together two or more elements into a larger system or network. It is formed from the prefix össz- meaning together and the root kapcsol, which denotes connection or linkage. The word is widely used in technical contexts such as information technology, electrical engineering, and systems integration, but it also appears in everyday language when describing linking items or ideas.

In use, összekapcsol refers to creating a reciprocal or networked connection rather than a simple, one-way link. It is common to see forms such as összekapcsolni (to connect), összekapcsolás (interconnection), and összekapcsolódik (to become interconnected). The participial form összekapcsolt describes something that is interconnected, and összekapcsolható corresponds to connectable or interconnectable. The verb is often contrasted with összeköt, which can imply a more direct or single linkage.

Common contexts include connecting devices in a computer network, interlinking components within a system, or integrating datasets and processes to function as a unified whole. For example, "A számítógépes hálózatot összekapcsolják több alhálózattal" means they interconnect the computer network with several subnets. "A rendszer összekapcsolása" refers to the process of interconnecting the system.

Related terms include kapcsolat (connection), kapcsolás (switching or act of connecting), and összeköt (to connect in a direct or one-to-one sense). Etymologically, the word reflects the general concept of bringing separate parts into a unified whole.
