Elhatárol

Elhatárol is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to delimit," "to separate," or "to cordon off" in English. It refers to the act of creating a boundary or a distinct space between things. This can be applied in both physical and abstract contexts.

In a physical sense, elhatárol can describe the action of erecting a fence, building a wall, or marking out an area to keep something in or out. For instance, one might elhatárol their garden to prevent animals from entering. It can also be used to describe the separation of land or property.

Abstractly, elhatárol can denote the act of distinguishing between ideas, concepts, or groups of people. It implies drawing a clear line to differentiate one thing from another, preventing confusion or overlap. For example, a scientist might elhatárol the effects of a specific variable in an experiment. It can also be used in social contexts, referring to the act of distancing oneself from a particular group or opinion. The core meaning remains the establishment of a clear distinction or boundary.
