Feldolgozása

Feldolgozás is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of processing or refining something. It derives from the verb feldolgoz, and the form to process or handle information or materials. The term is used across different domains to denote transformation from a raw state to a more usable form.

In industry, feldolgozás commonly refers to converting raw materials into finished products. In the food sector, élelmiszer-feldolgozás covers processes that convert agricultural products into edible goods (for example meat processing, dairy processing, bakery products). In manufacturing, feldolgozás involves steps such as grinding, mixing, shaping, and packaging.

In information technology and data governance, adatfeldolgozás denotes data processing, including collection, organization, analysis, storage, and transfer of information. The term is central in privacy and data-protection contexts, where feldolgozás activities are regulated by laws such as the GDPR in the European Union and national regulations in Hungary.

In culture and media, feldolgozás can mean adaptation or interpretation of a work, such as a film or stage adaptation of a literary original. The concept also appears in economics and supply chain discourse as value-added feldolgozás, referring to processes that increase the value of inputs before final consumption.

The word combines fel- prefix with dolgoz (to work) and the nominal suffix -ás, producing a general term for processing across contexts.
