Dugóval

Dugóval is a term of Hungarian origin that translates to "plug" or "stopper" in English. It is most commonly used in a technical context to refer to any object designed to seal an opening or hole, preventing the passage of fluids, gases, or other materials. This can range from a simple cork in a bottle to more complex components in industrial machinery.

The design and material of a dugóval vary greatly depending on its intended application. For instance, a dugóval used in plumbing might be made of rubber or plastic to create a watertight seal, while a dugóval in a scientific laboratory could be crafted from glass or silicone to withstand specific chemical environments or temperatures. In electrical engineering, a dugóval might refer to a connector or plug that fits into a socket to establish an electrical connection.

Beyond its literal meaning, the term dugóval can sometimes be used metaphorically. In informal Hungarian, it might describe a situation or object that is blocking progress or causing an obstruction. However, its primary and most widespread usage remains in its technical sense, referring to a sealing or connecting component.
