összekapcsolódó

összekapcsolódó is a Hungarian adjective and present participle formed from the verb kapcsolódik ("to connect, to relate") with the prefix össze- ("together"). It describes entities, processes or events that become linked to one another or function in an interconnected way.

As a lexical item it is frequently used in technical, scientific and everyday contexts: összekapcsolódó hálózatok (interconnected networks), összekapcsolódó folyamatok (interrelated processes), or összekapcsolódó események (interconnected events). Grammatically it behaves like other Hungarian participial adjectives, agreeing with the noun syntactically and taking case endings when used attributively or substantively.

Etymology and formation: the prefix össze- conveys togetherness, kapcsolódik derives from kapcsolat ("connection") plus the inchoative/passive suffix -ódik; the participle suffix -ó yields a word meaning "that is connecting/has connected." The term can be used both in literal senses (physical or technological connections) and in figurative senses (social, causal or conceptual linkages).

Examples:

- A két rendszer összekapcsolódó részei adatot cserélnek. (The interconnected parts of the two systems exchange data.)

- Az események egymással összekapcsolódó láncot alkotnak. (The events form a chain of interconnected links.)

The word is productive in Hungarian, appearing in compounds and technical jargon to denote various forms of interdependence.
