The term is used in general language as well as in technical contexts such as linguistics, documentation, and software design to denote optionality or dispensability.

Origin and formation: The word is formed from the verb elhagyni (to omit, to leave out) with the suffix -ható, which yields an adjective meaning “able to be.” In usage, it regularly applies to nouns referring to elements, parameters, or clauses.

Usage notes: In grammar, elhagyható mondatrész means a sentence part that can be left out without altering the core meaning. In technical writing and software documentation, it marks optional parameters or features; an elhagyható paraméter may be omitted during configuration.
