Kiürítés

Kiürítés is a Hungarian noun meaning the process of making something empty by removing its contents, draining fluids, or clearing a space. The term can describe physical, medical, or safety contexts and is used across various fields to denote emptiness or depletion.

In industrial and infrastructural contexts, kiürítés refers to draining liquids from tanks, pipes, or reservoirs, as well as removing sediments, decontaminating spaces, or clearing storage areas. It is a routine operation in maintenance, waste management, and facility management.

In civil protection and public safety, kiürítés denotes evacuation—moving people away from danger areas such as during fires, chemical spills, or natural disasters. This use emphasizes protecting lives by creating safe, empty spaces for relocation.

In medical and biological contexts, kiürítés describes the expulsion or clearance of substances from the body or from cavities, such as bowel evacuation and wound drainage. It may also refer to the deliberate emptying of an organ during a medical procedure.

In environmental and resource management, kiürítés can describe depletion or emptying of resources, funds, or storage capacity, often with the implication that replenishment will follow. The term is commonly contrasted with töltés or feltöltés, meaning filling or refilling, highlighting its role as an antonym in many contexts.
