Céltárgy

Céltárgy is an Hungarian compound noun formed from cél (goal, target) and tárgy (object). It designates the object that is the target of an action, investigation, or process. The exact meaning depends on context, but the core idea is always the entity toward which an effort is directed or which is being examined.

Etymology and sense: The word combines two common Hungarian roots to express the notion of an object that is the aim or focus of something. Because it is a relatively general term, its precise interpretation varies by field and usage.

Uses and contexts: In linguistics or grammar, céltárgy can refer to the object of a verb or the focal object in a sentence, though more common terms may be used depending on the analysis. In research and experiments, céltárgy denotes the specific object or item under study or measurement. In computer vision, machine learning, and related fields, céltárgy describes the object that a model is meant to detect, identify, or classify. In everyday language, it can simply mean the thing that someone intends to hit, reach, or achieve.

Examples:

- A vizsgálatban a céltárgy a vizsgált objektum volt. (In the study, the target object was the object under examination.)

- A számítógépes látásban a céltárgy azonosítása a rendszer feladata. (In computer vision, identifying the target object is the system’s task.)

- A sportban a céltárgy a célpont, amelyet el kell érni. (In sport, the target is the object to be reached.)

Notes: The term is context-dependent and may be interchangeable with more specific expressions such as célpont or tárgy, depending on discipline and style.
