Indítású

Indítású is a Hungarian adjective formed from the noun indítás (the act of starting or ignition) with the suffix -ú. It denotes something related to initiation, starting, or the initial phase of a process, device, or operation. The term is primarily found in technical or formal language and is less common in everyday speech. It can be used to describe components, systems, or procedures whose purpose is to initiate or trigger subsequent actions, such as an indítású rendszer (starting system) or an indítású folyamat (starting phase of a workflow). In many contexts, however, speakers prefer the more common adjectives indító (starter, initiating) or kezdő (initial, opening).

Usage and connotations: Indítású tends to appear in precise or specialized terminology, glossary entries, or technical documentation where a clear label for the initiation aspect is required. Its use can vary by field, and in some domains it may be considered unusually formal or arcane.

Etymology: The word is derived from indítás, the noun form of indítani (to start), with the attributive suffix -ú, yielding an adjective meaning “having the characteristic of starting.”
