Lezárása

Lezárása is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or result of closing, sealing, or finalizing something. It is the possessive form built from the base noun lezárás with a possessive suffix -a, signaling “its closing” or functioning as a specific instance of closing. The verb from which it derives is lezárni, meaning to close, seal, or complete.

Etymology and form: the word combines the prefix le- (indicating completion or separation) with zár (to close) and the nominalizing suffix -ás. The term is widely used in administrative, legal, logistical, and organizational language to refer to the end state or act of closing.

Contexts and usage: lezárása can refer to physical closures (határ lezárása – closing of a border; út lezárása – road closure), administrative or legal conclusions (eljárás lezárása – closing of an inquiry or procedure), or the completion of projects, programs, or financial processes (a projekt lezárása – the closure of a project; a szerződés lezárása – termination or closing of a contract). It is employed in formal and institutional communication, but also appears in journalistic and everyday language when describing the finalization of a plan, case, or boundary.

Grammatical note: as a noun, lezárása functions like other -ás/-és nouns and takes typical Hungarian inflections (e.g., lezárását, lezárásban). It can serve as the subject or object of a sentence, depending on the construction.
