Fizetend

Fizetend is not a common standalone word in contemporary Hungarian. When it appears in texts, it is usually treated as a stem related to the verb fizetni (to pay). The standard, widely used form is fizetendő, an adjective meaning “to be paid” or “payable.”

Etymology: it derives from fizetni with the participial suffix -endő, which forms adjectives and nouns indicating obligation or potential action. The truncated form fizetend may occur in lexical entries, glossaries, or as part of compound expressions, but it is not the normal inflected form in modern Hungarian.

Usage: In finance and law, the normal expression to describe sums or obligations that must be settled is fizetendő. Examples include fizetendő összeg (amount payable) and fizetendő határidő (payment deadline). The bare “fizetend” is rarely used outside of dictionaries or as a cross-linguistic label, and it can be confusing for readers unfamiliar with the standard form.
