Székelés

Székelés is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or process related to seating or occupying a seat. It is formed from the noun szék (seat) with the nominalizing suffix -elés. The precise sense depends on context, but it generally refers to the action of taking or keeping a seat.

Usage and nuance: In contemporary Hungarian the term is relatively uncommon in everyday speech. More common words for the same idea are ülés (sitting) and leülés (the act of sitting down). Székelés is more likely to appear in formal, technical, or literary contexts where a noun form is preferred for description, such as discussions of seating arrangements, occupancy of seats in an auditorium, or in descriptions of ceremonial proceedings where participants take seats.

Origins and related terms: The word is a compound formation from szék with the -elés suffix, which yields nouns indicating a process or result related to a base noun. Related concepts include foglalás (occupying a seat or reservation) and ülések (seats or sessions).
