Elindító

Elindító is a Hungarian word functioning as both a noun and an adjective. It is derived from the verb elindítani, meaning to start, initiate, or set in motion, with the suffix -ító forming an agent noun. As a noun, elindító refers to a person, device, or factor that initiates something; as an adjective, it describes something that starts or triggers a process.

In usage, elindító appears across domains. In technology and engineering, it can denote a component or action that starts a system or sequence. In science and social sciences, it designates an initiating factor or trigger in a causal chain (for example, an elindító tényező of an event). In everyday language, it can refer to anything that begins an activity or development.

Note that indító is a related term and is more commonly used in many contexts. The choice between elindító and indító may underline the emphasis on starting the act itself (elindító) versus starting in general (indító). The word thus functions as a flexible descriptor for anything that sets something in motion, from mechanical starters to theoretical triggers.
