Effekció

Effekció is a Hungarian noun meaning “effect” or “impact,” typically referring to a deliberate result produced in a process, work of art, or technical system. The term is a loan from the German Effekt and is formed in Hungarian with the suffix -ció, creating an abstract noun. It is related to the more general word hatás, but effekció often signals a specific, purposeful outcome within a project or production.

In practice, effekció is most common in media and performing arts contexts. In film and theatre, effekciók denote special effects designed to create visual or practical outcomes, including visual effects, prosthetics, or stage tricks. In sound design and music production, hang effekciók refer to sound effects. In marketing and user experience, effekciós elements may denote intentional visual or interactive effects intended to guide perception or behavior.

The term is mainly found in professional discourse; in everyday language, speakers may prefer synonyms such as hatás or következmény depending on nuance. Distinctions between effekció and related words can vary by context, with effekció often emphasizing a produced or perceived outcome as a purposeful element of a project.
