Szabályozott

Szabályozott is a Hungarian adjective meaning regulated or controlled, derived from the verb szabályozni (to regulate). The form szabályozott is the past participle and functions as a modifier, typically preceding the noun in Hungarian syntax. It indicates that something is subject to rules, oversight, or standards established by authorities.

In usage, szabályozott appears across legal, economic, engineering, and scientific contexts. Examples include a szabályozott piac (regulated market), szabályozott tevékenység (regulated activity), szabályozott környezet (regulated or controlled environment), or szabályozott folyamat (regulated process). It can describe processes, systems, or sectors that operate under formal rules or supervision.

Etymology: built from szabály (rule) plus -ozni (to do or to make) and the past participle suffix -ott; literally, “made subject to rules.” The related noun szabályozás denotes regulation, while szabályozó can refer to a regulator or regulating device.

See also: szabályozás, szabályozó, szabályozatlan. In legal and policy discourse, the term often contrasts with szabályozatlan (unregulated) or with market-driven approaches. Notable considerations: the precise sense of szabályozott depends on context; some fields distinguish regulatory oversight by law from standards-based or internally imposed controls (governance or standardization).
