Kanyarító

Kanyarító is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb kanyarodni (to turn or bend) with the agentive suffix -ító. The term denotes something that causes, produces, or facilitates a turn or bend. In everyday language the form is relatively uncommon and often replaced by more specific terms such as kanyar, kanyarodás, or kanyarodó.

Etymology and usage context

The word combines kanyar (bend, curve) with the agentive suffix -ító, producing a noun that can mean an object, device, or agent that brings about a turning motion. Because Hungarian frequently uses compound expressions, kanyarító is typically encountered in technical or specialized texts rather than common speech. When clarity is required, speakers prefer more precise phrases like kanyarodó irányjelző (turn indicator) or kanyarodási eszköz (turning device).

Examples of domains

In road design and traffic engineering, kanyarító may appear in informal writing to describe elements that induce a vehicle to follow a curved path, though official terminology usually uses kanyar, ív, vagy kanyarodási útvonal. In mechanical engineering and manufacturing, kanyarító can refer to tools or machines that form bends, such as kanyarító görgő (bend-forming roller) or generally kanyarító eszköz used in bending wires or sheet metal.
