Kijavítás

Kijavítás is a Hungarian term meaning the act of correcting or remedying something that is faulty, inaccurate, or broken. It is formed from the verb kijavítani, with ki- indicating completion or restoration, and javítani meaning to mend, fix, or improve. The noun denotes the corrective outcome as well as the process of making the correction.

In editing and publishing, kijavítás refers to correcting errors in a text, such as typos, factual inaccuracies, or formatting mistakes. The process typically involves locating the error, determining the proper correction, implementing the change, and verifying that the result is accurate before final publication or distribution.

In engineering, manufacturing, and information technology, kijavítás describes repairing a device or system or releasing a corrective update. This can involve replacing faulty parts, adjusting configurations, or issuing a software patch or bug fix. In data handling and scientific work, it may mean correcting measurements or recalibrating calculations to produce valid results.

The concept emphasizes restoring a correct or functional state and is often documented for traceability. In many organizations, kijavítás is followed by validation tests, quality assurance checks, and updates to records or version numbers to reflect the change.
