Légitimál

Légitimál is a Hungarian verb meaning to legitimize or to make something legal, lawful, or justifiable. It describes the process of conferring legitimacy upon an entity, action, or claim. This can occur in various contexts, including legal, political, social, and moral spheres.

In a legal context, légitimál might refer to the act of ratifying a treaty, validating a marriage, or confirming the legality of a transaction. Politically, it can involve a government establishing its right to rule, or a political party gaining popular support and thus legitimacy. Socially, an action or belief becomes légitimál when it is widely accepted or endorsed by a community or society. Morally, something is légitimál when it is considered right, ethical, or justifiable according to prevailing values.

The concept of légitimál is often tied to authority, acceptance, and recognition. Without legitimacy, something may be viewed as invalid, illegitimate, or unacceptable. The process of légitimál can be formal, as in a legal or political procedure, or informal, as in the gradual acceptance of a social norm. The verb implies a transformation from a state of being questionable or unrecognized to one of established validity or acceptance.
