alátámaszolja

The Hungarian verb "alátámaszolja" translates to "supports" or "underpins" in English. It describes the act of providing a foundation, prop, or justification for something, preventing it from falling or collapsing. This can be understood in both a literal and a figurative sense.

Literally, "alátámaszolja" refers to physical support. For instance, a beam might alátámaszolja a ceiling, or a crutch might alátámaszolja a person's leg. In this context, it signifies providing structural integrity and stability.

Figuratively, the verb is used to describe the backing or evidence that strengthens an argument, theory, or belief. A piece of research might alátámaszolja a scientific claim, or historical documents might alátámaszolja a narrative. Here, it implies providing the necessary basis for something to be considered valid, credible, or true. The concept can also extend to emotional or moral support, where one person might alátámaszolja another during a difficult time. The core idea remains the provision of strength and stability, whether material or abstract.
