Többfacet

Többfacet is a Hungarian term used to describe something that has multiple facets or dimensions, i.e., it is multifaceted. The word is formed from több (more, several) and facet, a borrowing from French and English. In contemporary Hungarian it is commonly realized as an adjective in forms such as többfacetű and többfacetes, and it is also used in compounds like többfacetes megközelítés or többfacetes problémakör.

Usage and contexts matter. In academic writing, többfacet can emphasize complexity, for example a többfacetes probléma that requires consideration of economic, social, and technological factors. In policy, cultural, or business discourse, a többfacetes megközelítés signals integrating diverse perspectives rather than a single viewpoint. In design and architecture, a többfacetes forma may refer to a surface or object composed of several planes or sides, contributing to a dynamic or varied appearance.

Relation to other terms. The concept is closely related to sokoldalú (multi-skilled, multi-faceted) and összetett (complex). In many contexts, többdimenziós (multidimensional) can be used as a near synonym, though it carries a slightly different nuance about dimensions rather than facets specifically.

Notes. The term is widely understood in Hungarian media and academia, but it may not appear in all dictionaries. Spelling and inflection can vary (többfacetű, többfacetes), so consistency with the chosen form is recommended.
