Domének

Domének is the Hungarian term for domains, used as a generic label for distinct areas or fields of influence. It is formed from doména (domain) and is pluralized as domének when referring to multiple domains. In everyday language, domények is also heard, but domének is the common plural form in standard Hungarian usage.

In information technology, domén or domény is used for domain names in the Domain Name System (DNS), which map human-readable names like example.hu to IP addresses. In Windows networking, a domain describes a security boundary under centralized management of user accounts, computers, and policies.

In mathematics and computer science, domain denotes the set of input values for a function (the domain of f). In data modeling, the term value domain or data domain refers to the allowable values a variable may take, often defined by type, range, or constraints.

In physics, magnetic domains are regions within a ferromagnetic material where magnetic moments are aligned. The size and arrangement of these domains influence the material’s overall magnetic properties and behavior under external fields.

Other uses include the domain of discourse in logic and the broader concept of knowledge domains in education and research. Across contexts, domének share a common idea: a defined, bounded area of interest, influence, or applicability.
