Keményedési

Keményedési is a Hungarian term that generally translates to "hardening" or "firming up." Its specific meaning is highly dependent on the context in which it is used. In a physical or material science context, keményedési refers to the process by which a substance increases in hardness or density. This can occur through various mechanisms, such as the setting of concrete, the vulcanization of rubber, or the tempering of metal.

In a biological or medical context, keményedési can describe the hardening of tissues, such as the hardening of arteries (arteriosclerosis) or the hardening of a tumor. It can also refer to the stiffening of muscles, often associated with physical exertion or post-mortem changes.

The term is also used metaphorically to describe a strengthening or toughening process, whether it be in a psychological sense, such as developing resilience, or in a social context, like a government taking a firmer stance on a policy. Understanding the surrounding words and the specific situation is crucial to accurately interpret the meaning of keményedési. Without additional context, it remains a broad term indicating a change towards greater rigidity or strength.
