Végrehajtója

Végrehajtója is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from végrehajtó, meaning an executor or enforcer, with the possessive suffix -ja, indicating “his/her/its executor” or “the executor of it.” The base végrehajtó refers to a person or entity authorized to carry out actions, orders, or decisions on another’s behalf. The precise sense depends on context, most commonly in legal, administrative, and estate-related settings.

Etymology and usage: The term derives from the verb végrehajtani ('to execute, to carry out') and the agentive suffix -ó, which forms a noun meaning a person who performs the action. The suffix -ja subsequently marks possession or association, producing the form végrehajtója for “its/his/her executor.” In practice, végrehajtója denotes the specific executor connected to a task, document, or obligation.

Contexts and examples: In civil law, a végrehajtó is the official who enforces court judgments and other enforceable measures, acting under judicial authority. In estate administration, a hagyatéki végrehajtó or similar role manages and distributes a deceased person’s assets, following the will and applicable law; here the phrase végrehajtója identifies who is responsible for the implementation. In corporate or administrative contexts, the term may refer to an individual or office charged with implementing decisions, rules, or compulsory actions. The exact duties of a végrehajtóje vary by procedure and jurisdiction but share the core function of ensuring enforcement or execution of obligations.

See also: The related concepts include végrehajtás (enforcement or execution), hagyaték (estate), hagyatéki végrehajtó (estate administrator), and bírósági végrehajtó (court enforcement officer). The form végrehajtója is a grammatical variant used to specify possession or attribution to a particular executor.
