Mállási

Mállási is a Hungarian term used as an adjective or participial noun meaning related to crumbling, degradation, or the process of falling into disrepair. The form is typically derived from the noun mál­lás (the act of crumbling or deteriorating) or from the verb mál­lani/ mál­lani (to crumble or decay) through the suffix -ási, which in Hungarian marks relation to an action or state. In practice, málási describes surfaces, materials, or conditions that are undergoing or prone to crumbling or deterioration.

In usage, málási is most often found in technical or conservation contexts. It can describe the state of a material or structure, for example, a wall or façade that shows signs of crumbling or spalling, or a surface affected by progressive degradation. It is also used in archaeology, archaeology-related conservation, and materials science to characterize degradation phenomena and stages of deterioration.

Etymology and morphology: the root lies in the Hungarian word mál­lás, or its verb form mál­lani, with the suffix -ási forming an adjective or a related noun. This pattern is common in Hungarian to convey that something pertains to or results from a specific action.

See also: málás, málik, mál­lási állapot, degradation, corrosion, surface deterioration. The term málási is primarily found in Hungarian-language sources and is not widely used in non-Hungarian contexts.
