behúzást

Behúzást is the accusative form of the Hungarian noun behúzás, which denotes the act of drawing something toward oneself, pulling it into a space, or retracting it. The term is widely used in technical and everyday language to describe processes where an object or component is pulled, drawn in, or engaged by a pulling action. It can also be used figuratively to indicate attracting or drawing in attention, participants, or resources.

Etymology and usage notes: The word comes from the verb behúz, meaning to pull in, draw toward, or retract. The suffix -ás forms a noun, and the -t ending marks the accusative case, as in a sentence describing the act of pulling something into a mechanism or space.

Common contexts: In mechanical engineering and manufacturing, behúzást refers to the process of drawing a material (such as fiber, wire, or sheet) into a machine, tool, or guide system. In electronics, it appears in terms like behúzási feszültség or behúzási áram, referring to the voltage or current required to engage a relay, solenoid, or other actuated component. In computing and software development, the term is used for the action of pulling updates from a remote repository, i.e., the software “pull.” In everyday language, it can describe any act of drawing something inward or retraction, such as pulling a drawer shut or drawing a curtain.

Related terms and distinctions: Behúzás is distinct from húzás (general pulling) and visszahúzás (withdrawal or retraction). Context determines whether the sense is mechanical, electrical, or figurative.
