élesít

Élesít is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to sharpen," "to hone," or "to whet" in English. It is commonly used in the context of tools, particularly those with blades, such as knives, swords, or scythes. The process of élesít involves using an abrasive material, like a whetstone or a file, to grind away at the edge of a tool, creating a finer and sharper cutting surface. This can also refer to the act of making something more acute or intense, such as sharpening one's senses or sharpening a skill. Figuratively, it can imply making a situation more critical or urgent. The term is derived from the Hungarian adjective "éles," meaning "sharp." The act of élesít is crucial for maintaining the effectiveness and safety of many tools and is a fundamental skill in various crafts and professions.
