Visszaéléshez

Visszaéléshez is a grammatical form in Hungarian, derived from the noun visszaélés, which means abuse or misuse. The suffix -hez marks an allative relation, indicating motion toward, direction toward, or a linkage to the concept of abuse. In practice, visszaéléshez appears in formal or legal contexts when the noun is combined with verbs or adjectives to describe conditions, actions, or causes that relate to abuse.

Visszaélés itself refers to improper, unlawful, or unauthorized use of something, or to exploiting someone or something for personal gain. It can describe the abuse of power, resources, information, or trust. In ethical discussions, visszaélés is contrasted with legitimate use or authorized handling of assets, data, or authority. The term covers both gatekeeping abuses (for example, manipulating data or misusing confidential information) and interpersonal harms (such as coercive or exploitative behavior).

In legal and regulatory contexts, visszaélés commonly appears in phrasing such as hatalommal való visszaélés (abuse of power) or pénzügyi visszaélések (financial abuses). The allative form visszaéléshez is used when describing actions directed toward abuse or conditions that facilitate it, for instance visszaéléshez vezető magatartás (conduct leading to abuse) or hozzájárulás visszaéléshez (contribution to abuse).

Etymology notes: the noun visszaélés is formed from the verb visszaélni (to misuse) with the nominalizing suffix -és. The form visszaéléshez adds the allative suffix -hez, enabling its integration into sentences that specify purpose, direction, or consequence related to abuse.
