Rétegenkénti

Rétegenkénti is a Hungarian adjective meaning “per layer” or “layer-by-layer.” It is formed from the noun réteg (layer) and the suffix -enként/-enkénti, which denotes per unit. The term describes phenomena, structures, or processes that are organized, analyzed, or executed in successive layers rather than as a single, homogeneous whole.

The adjective is used across several fields to indicate a layered approach or arrangement. In geoscience and geology it can describe stratified structures or sampling methods that consider individual layers. In materials science and engineering it appears in contexts such as multilayer coatings and layered material architectures. In biology it may refer to the layered organization of tissues. In information technology and data processing it is used for layer-wise or layered approaches to processing, modeling, or training, including multi-layer architectures in artificial intelligence. In imaging and fabrication, rétegenkénti concepts can describe per-layer construction or analysis, such as in additive manufacturing or layered image processing.

Linguistically, rétegenkénti is typically used attributively with a following noun (rétegenkénti felépítés, rétegenkénti elemzés, rétegenkénti feldolgozás). It conveys a sense of sequential layering or division into distinct strata, emphasizing the contribution or characteristics of each layer.
