Felnyitás

Felnyitás is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of opening, uncovering, or revealing something that was closed, sealed, or concealed. It covers both literal actions—such as removing a lid, opening a door, or breaking a seal—and figurative uses, such as revealing information or accessing a hidden area. The word is formed from nyitás ("opening") with the prefix fel-, which can convey upward, outward, or completion.

In everyday language felnyitás is used for mechanical or practical openings: opening a package, lifting a cover on machinery, or exposing contents by removing a lid. In medical contexts the term appears in phrases like sebészeti felnyitás, referring to a surgical opening that provides access to a body cavity or internal structures, with aims of diagnosis or treatment. Such procedures are performed under sterile conditions and carry risks typical of surgery, including infection and bleeding.

In professional fields such as archaeology or construction, felnyitás can denote the careful opening or uncovering of a site, artifact, or structure, often with documented procedures and preservation considerations. Figuratively, the term can describe the uncovering of information, truth, or hidden aspects in investigative, administrative, or research settings.

Because felnyitás is context-dependent, it is frequently replaced or complemented by more specific terms like nyitás, feltárás, or műtéti felnyitás depending on the domain.
