Definícióit

Definícióit is a Hungarian grammatical form related to the noun definíció, meaning definitions. In general usage, definíció refers to a statement that assigns meaning to a term or concept, usually by specifying essential properties that distinguish it from other terms. The form definícióit appears in contexts where multiple definitions are being discussed and the object is treated as definite.

A definition serves several purposes in language and knowledge domains. It clarifies what a term means, provides criteria for membership in a concept, and helps resolve ambiguity in communication. Definitions can be lexical (presenting how a word is used in a language), stipulative (introducing a new or provisional sense), or ostensive (pointing to examples). They may also be expanding or precising, aiming to narrow a broad usage or to shift a term’s scope for a particular project.

In scholarly practice, defining terms is foundational for fields such as philosophy, lexicography, mathematics, and the sciences. A good definition typically offers clarity, conciseness, and a precise scope, while avoiding circularity and overly restrictive or open-ended criteria. The study of definitions also deals with problems of borderline cases, semantic drift, and the complexity of real-world concepts.

Etymologically, definíció comes from Latin definitio, passing into Hungarian as definíció, with definícióit forming part of the plural or definite grammatical forms. In Hungarian texts, the term is commonly found in dictionaries, academic writing, and discussions of terminology, where multiple definitions of a term may be presented or compared.
