Szövetes

Szövetes is a Hungarian adjective formed from the noun szövet, which can mean tissue in biology or fabric in textiles, with the suffix -es to indicate “having, characterized by, or made of.” The term is used in different domains, and its precise meaning depends on the context.

In biology, szövetes describes multicellular organisms that have true tissues and organs. Szövetes állatok are animals with differentiated tissues, as opposed to more primitive or colonial life forms with only cellular-level organization. In common zoological usage, sponges (which lack true tissues) are contrasted with szövetes (true-tissue) animals such as cnidarians and more complex metazoans. The concept underpins discussions of body plans, development, and histology.

In everyday and technical contexts related to textiles, szövetes can refer to fabric-based or textile-like characteristics, since szövet means fabric or cloth. However, in practical language, more common terms are szövött or textil. Where used, szövetes material or szövetes textília would generally indicate something made of fabric or composed of textile fibers.

Etymology and related terms: szövet + -es yield the broad descriptor; in medical or histological contexts, closely related terms include szövettani (histological) and szövetes kapcsolódó megnyilvánulások.
