Gyengítésre

Gyengítésre is a Hungarian term that translates literally as "for weakening" or "to weaken". It is commonly used in a variety of contexts, including medicine, chemistry, and legal language, to describe a process or action that reduces strength, intensity, or effectiveness. In medical usage the term often appears in discussions of drug dosage adjustments, where a medication may be gyengítésre to manage side effects or to taper off treatment. In chemistry it can describe the neutralization or dilution of a solution, thereby reducing its acidity or concentration. Within the legal system gyengítés can refer to the weakening of contractual obligations or the reduction of penalties.

The word is derived from the Hungarian root “gyeng‑” meaning “weak”, combined with the noun-forming suffix “‑ítés” which denotes an action or process. In Hungarian orthography, the suffix “‑re” indicates purpose, so gyengítésre literally means “in order to weaken”. The term is encountered in textbooks, scientific literature, and everyday speech, especially in contexts that require precise conveyance of the idea of reduction or diminution. Because it is the past participle of gyengíteni (“to weaken”), gyengítésre can also appear in idiomatic expressions, such as “gyengítésre szoruló szektor” (a sector that needs weakening or restructuring).
