abbahagyás

Abbahagyás is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or process of ceasing to perform a previously undertaken activity, habit, or practice. It is formed from the verb abbahagyni (to stop or give up) with the nominalizing suffix -ás. The term is used across different contexts to indicate a deliberate termination rather than a temporary interruption.

Usage and contexts include personal habits (such as a smoking abbahagyása), professional projects (projektek abbahagyása), or ongoing activities that are halted by choice or necessity. The word often carries a formal or médico-legal tone, especially in written documents, policy discussions, or program descriptions. It can also refer to the decision or process of ending a conduct or procedure that was previously pursued.

Nuances and related terms: abbahagyás emphasizes a conscious stopping of something begun, as opposed to mere pause or natural ending. Related Hungarian terms include felhagyás (more general “giving up” or “abandoning”) and megszüntetés (cessation or termination). In many contexts these terms are close in meaning, but felhagyás can be broader and megszüntetés often implies formal or organizational termination.

Examples:

- A dohányzás abbahagyása jelentősen javítja az egészséget.

- A projektet hosszú mérlegelés után abbahagyták.

- A szokásos gyakorlás abbahagyása mellett fontos támogatási programok is léteznek.
