Komponensként

Komponensként is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “in the role of a component” or “as a component.” It is formed from the noun komponens (component, part) with the suffix -ként, which marks function or identity. The phrase is typically used in technical, scientific, and formal writing to indicate that a particular element acts as a component within a larger system, process, or organization.

In practice, it appears in sentences such as: Az áramkörben a tranzisztor komponensként működik. A szoftver architektúrában minden modul komponensként felel a bemeneti adatok feldolgozásáért. In a more metaphorical sense, one can say A csapatban mindenki komponensként járul hozzá a végeredményhez to emphasize a part’s contribution to the whole.

Etymology: The term derives from komponens, meaning component or element; the suffix -ként marks the role or function, and the word has entered Hungarian technical vocabulary from Western European languages, with usage expanding in the 20th century.

Usage notes: In everyday language, more common expressions are részként or alkatrészként describing part of a whole. Komponensként tends to appear in technical, engineering, or organizational discourse and can sound formal or specialized. It is one of several ways Hungarian speakers indicate role, function, or identity of a part within a system.
