Megalapozottságra

Megalapozottságra is the allative form of the Hungarian noun megalapozottság, which denotes the state or quality of being well-grounded, justified, or adequately supported. In linguistic terms, it marks direction toward the justification or grounds of a claim, decision, or argument, and it is used in formal and semi-formal style texts, including legal, academic, and journalistic writing.

Etymology and meaning: The base word megalapozottság is formed from megalapozott (well-founded, founded on solid grounds) and the abstract noun suffix -ság. The -ra/-re ending in megalapozottságra serves as the allative case, indicating movement toward or reference to the grounds themselves, i.e., aspects of justification, grounds, or evidence rather than the object of the justification.

Usage: Megalapozottságra appears in phrases such as megalapozottságra vonatkozó érvek (arguments concerning the justification), megalapozottságára hivatkozva (citing the justification), or megállapítások megalapozottságára utaló megjegyzések (notes referring to the justification). It is commonly used when evaluating the sufficiency of evidence, the legitimacy of a claim, or the soundness of a decision. In practice, writers distinguish megalapozottság (state of being well-founded) from related terms like alátámasztottság (supporting evidence) and indokoltság (justifiability).

Relation to other concepts: While megalapozottság focuses on grounding or justification, related terms emphasize different aspects of argumentation, such as evidence (bizonyíték), support (alátámasztás), or necessity (szükségesség). The allative form megalapozottságra helps specify discourse about that justification rather than the thing being justified.

Translations: In English, megalapozottságra can be rendered as “to the justification,” “toward the grounds,” or more naturally in context as “with regard to the justification” or “concerning the sufficiency of grounds.”
