Védelemre

Védelemre is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun védelem, meaning protection or defense. It is used to express purpose or the beneficiary of protective actions, roughly corresponding to the English phrases “for the protection of” or “for the defense of.” The construction is common in official and juridical language, as well as in policy texts, where the aim of measures, laws, or institutions is stated.

In practice, védelemre appears after a noun that denotes what is to be protected. Examples include környezet védelmére (for the protection of the environment), a polgárok védelmére (for the protection of the citizens), and a gyermekek védelmére (for the protection of children). The form can also be used in more general statements about protective aims, such as törvények vagy intézkedések védelmére irányuló intézkedések (measures aimed at protection).

Védelemre is closely related to the adjective védelemhez kapcsolódó or védelmi, which appear in broader contexts referring to protective.

Etymology and usage note: the term comes from védelem (protection/defense) and the suffix -re, used to denote purpose or direction toward the protected object. In Hungarian, the exact spelling and form may vary with surrounding grammar, and in some phrases the possessive form (védelmére) is preferred to indicate “for X’s protection.”

Overall, védelemre functions as a concise, formal way to specify protective aims in legal, administrative, and policy-language contexts.
