Kifejlesztése

Kifejlesztése is a Hungarian noun meaning the development of something or the act of developing. It denotes the process of turning an idea, concept, or plan into a functioning or more complete form. The term is used across contexts such as product development, software development, process improvement, or policy design. It is common in formal or technical writing and appears in phrases like egy termék kifejlesztése (the development of a product) or egy új szoftver kifejlesztése (the development of a new software).

Etymology and formation: kifejlesztése is derived from a verb form meaning to develop, with the nominalizing suffix -és, yielding kifejlesztés; in actual usage, the phrase kifejlesztése functions as “the development of …” when paired with a following noun. The ki- prefix in the verb signals elaboration or outward development, and the whole word emphasizes the process rather than merely the outcome.

Usage notes: compared with fejlesztés, which broadly means development, kifejlesztése carries a nuance of active elaboration and practical realization. It is often used when focusing on the phase of development or on the creation of a concrete product, system, or method, rather than on ongoing improvement alone. It can also refer to the resulting developed item when used with a preceding noun.
