Bocsátás

Bocsátás is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb bocsát, which broadly means to let go, grant, issue, or release. The term denotes the act or result of allowing something to be given, made available, or set free. Because bocsát has several related meanings, the precise sense of bocsátás depends on context. In many modern contexts it is more common to use more specific compounds such as kibocsátás (emission or issuance) or elbocsátás (discharge or dismissal).

In scientific and technical language, bocsátás can refer to the act of releasing or emitting something from a source, for example substances, energy, or signals. In these fields, however, the more typical term is kibocsátás, with bocsátás appearing primarily in broader or older formulations.

In administrative or legal language, bocsátás can denote the act of granting or issuing something by an authority, such as a document, permit, or order. In practice, this sense is usually expressed with related terms like kibocsátás or kiadás, while bocsátás may occur in more formal or historic prose.

In religious or moral-historical contexts, bocsátás can refer to forgiveness or remission granted by a higher authority. In contemporary usage, megbocsátás is the common word for forgiveness, but bocsátás can appear in older or more formal texts to convey a similar idea of absolution or discharge from penalties.

Overall, bocsátás is a polyvalent term whose primary modern equivalents are kibocsátás and elbocsátás; it tends to appear in formal, historical, or broad-language contexts where a general sense of “granting, releasing, or emitting” is intended.
