Módszertantól

Módszertantól is the ablative form of the Hungarian noun módszertan, meaning the science or theory of methods, i.e., methodology. The form is used to express origin, source, or a starting point of a relation, such as dependency, influence, or reference to the methodology that underpins a statement.

In practice, módszertantól appears in sentences where the methodology is identified as the basis or condition for what follows. It is common in academic, scientific, and technical writing. For example, a sentence like "A kutatási eredmény a módszertantól függ" signals that the result depends on the chosen methodology. Another example: "A projekt megvalósítása a módszertantól függően alakul" indicates that outcomes vary according to the method applied. The form can also appear in discussions of deviations or alternatives, such as "a módszertantól való eltérés" (deviation from the methodology).

Etymology and grammar: módszertan is formed from módszer (method) plus the suffix -tan, denoting a field or science. The ablative suffix -tól (or -től) marks origin or source, here yielding módszertantól. This inflection is typical of Hungarian noun declension and is used primarily in formal or analytic contexts to attribute influence, cause, or reference to the methodology guiding a process or argument.
