Összefügg

Összefügg is a Hungarian term describing a state of connection or interrelation between elements, events, or facts. It can function as an adjective meaning interconnected or coherent and is frequently used with related nouns such as összefüggés (relation, context) and összefüggő (connected, interrelated). The sense covers both everyday language and formal scientific discourse, where it signals a causal, logical, or contextual linkage rather than coincidence.

Etymology: The term derives from the prefix össze- (together) and the verb függ (to depend, to hinge). The combination conveys dependence or linkage within a larger whole. In contemporary Hungarian, phrases like összefüggés or összefüggő are more common for explicit references to connections or coherence.

Usage: In everyday speech, one might say "Ezek az események összefüggnek egymással" (These events are related to each other). In mathematics and logic, összefüggő halmaz or összefüggő gráf describes connected structures; in statistics, the term relates to correlation or association between variables. The word thus functions across disciplines to denote that elements are not independent but bear a meaningful relation.
