Beindulás

Beindulás is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb beindul, meaning to start up, to come to life, or to begin moving. The suffix -ás creates a noun that denotes the process or moment of starting. The term is widely used in both literal and figurative senses.

In technical and mechanical contexts, beindulás refers to the moment when a machine, engine, or system begins operating after activation, startup, or warm-up. For example, the beindulás of an engine describes the point at which it starts running smoothly. In information technology, beindulás is used for booting a computer or program, including the sequence of initializing hardware and software components.

In figurative usage, beindulás describes the initiation or acceleration of activity, such as the start of a project, campaign, or market momentum. It can convey a sense of gaining speed or reaching a turning point when plans move from planning to action.

Colloquially, beindulás can also refer to a person’s arousal, including sexual arousal, depending on context. As with many Hungarian terms, the intended meaning is clarified by surrounding words and the situation.

Etymology: beindulás derives from beindul (to start up) with the nominalizing suffix -ás. Related terms include indítás (start-up or initiation) and indulás (departure or start).
