Beágyaz

Beágyaz is a Hungarian verb meaning to embed, to incorporate something within a larger whole. It is used to describe the act of placing an element so that it becomes a functional part of a system, document, or structure, rather than something simply attached to the surface. The related noun beágyazás denotes the act or process of embedding.

In computing and digital media, beágyazás refers to embedding content or functionality within another document or interface. Examples include beágyazott tartalom, such as videos, maps, or widgets, integrated into a web page. In web development this is often achieved with technologies such as iframe, embed, or object elements. Beágyazott rendszerek describe devices in which software and hardware are integrated to perform dedicated tasks.

In biology and medicine, beágyazás denotes implantation of a fertilized egg into the uterine lining; beágyazódik means to implant oneself. The term also appears in botany or ecology when fragments or organisms are embedded into a substrate. In a broader sense beágyazás can refer to integrating quotes, examples, or data within a text.

Etymology and nuance: be- is a prefix conveying “into” or “within,” and ágyaz relates to placing something within a layer or bed. The word emphasizes integration as a structural change rather than merely surface placement. Related forms include beágyazott, beágyazódik, and beágyazás.
