Kimerítés

Kimerítés is a Hungarian noun referring to the act or result of exhausting, draining, or using up something. The word is formed from the verb kimerít (to exhaust, to drain) with the nominal suffix -ítés. The prefix ki- in many uses implies completion or outward removal, contributing to the sense of emptiness or depletion.

In everyday language, kimerítés describes the depletion of resources, time, energy, or patience. It can also denote the enumeration or exhaustion of options or possibilities, for example in a discussion or decision-making process. In economic or environmental contexts, it is used to speak about the depletion of natural resources or energy reserves.

In technical fields, kimerítés commonly refers to the draining or emptying of a system or container. In hydraulics, plumbing, or process engineering, kimerítés means removing liquids from tanks, pipelines, or reservoirs to achieve an empty state or to prepare for maintenance. In logistics and inventory management, it can denote the depletion of stock or supplies.

Kimerítés is related to related terms such as kimerítő (exhaustive, thorough) and kimerült (exhausted, depleted). While kimerítés emphasizes the process or outcome of using something up, its nuance depends on context, ranging from physical draining to the figurative exhaustion of resources or possibilities.
