Beillesztés

Beillesztés is a Hungarian noun describing the act of placing something into or inside another object, as well as the result of such an action. It denotes the process of integrating an element within a larger whole, rather than placing it alongside it. The term is used across different fields to express insertion, embedding or fitting of components.

In language and editing, beillesztés refers to inserting or embedding content into a document, such as text, images or other media. In computing and software applications, it commonly denotes the paste operation—transferring content from a clipboard into a chosen location in a document or field.

In data processing and programming, beillesztés describes inserting an item into a data structure, such as a list or tree, or adding records to a database. The precise behavior depends on the structure and the programming language, and it may affect order, indexing and formatting.

In crafts and manufacturing, beillesztés is used for inlay or insertion work, where pieces of material are fitted into a base surface to create a decorative or functional composite. This reflects the broader sense of placing one element inside another to form a cohesive whole.

Etymology: beillesztés comes from be- (“in/inside”) and illeszt (“to fit/join”). The term thus broadly covers insertion, embedding, or paste-like operations, depending on the context.
