Járuló

Járuló is a Hungarian adjective meaning accompanying, incidental, or appurtenant. It describes something that belongs to or accompanies a main object, transaction, or obligation, rather than being the primary item itself. The term is used in various contexts, notably in law, accounting, and property relations, to label elements that arise from or attach to the main thing.

In legal and contractual language, járuló elements can include rights, obligations, or charges that accompany the subject of an agreement but are not the central item being transferred or performed. Examples include járuló költségek (incidental costs) and járuló jogok (appurtenant rights) that relate to a property, such as easements or access rights. In accounting, the concept helps distinguish principal costs from incidental ones.

The term often contrasts with the main or essential element, highlighting the auxiliary nature of the appended item. Etymologically, járuló derives from a notion of accompanying or attaching to another thing.

In modern usage, related forms such as járulékos and the noun járulék appear as synonyms or closely related terms; járulék more commonly denotes a fee or levy rather than an auxiliary item.
