Háromlábas

Háromlábas is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "three-legged." It is most commonly used to describe a three-legged stool or a similar piece of furniture with three supports. These items are often characterized by their simplicity and stability. A three-legged stool, for instance, will always stand firm on any surface, as the three legs will always form a stable plane. This makes them practical for various uses, from seating in workshops to simple decorative elements. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is incomplete or lacking a crucial component, implying a sense of imbalance or instability, though this is a less common usage. In a more literal sense, it can refer to any object that possesses exactly three legs, such as certain types of tables or specialized equipment. The design principle behind three-legged objects often prioritizes a low center of gravity and inherent stability.
