egészítés

Egészítés is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of making something complete by adding something else. The concept covers supplementation, augmentation, or enrichment and is used in several domains to describe the process of adding elements to improve a system, object, or situation. Etymologically it stems from egés, meaning whole, with the suffix -ítés.

In everyday language, egészítés can refer to adding parts to a device, supplementing a program, or completing a project. In nutrition and health contexts, egészítés often denotes supplementing the diet with nutrients to address deficiencies. This use is commonly associated with táplálékkiegészítés (dietary supplements). The related practice of improving the nutritional value of foods by adding vitamins and minerals is a form of fortification or enrichment, sometimes discussed under the broader idea of élelmiszerek dúsítása, though everyday language more often uses terms like fortification or enrichment.

In documentation and law, egészítés can describe amendments or additions to texts, contracts, or official records, such as supplementary sections or appendices. In engineering, construction, and education, it may refer to additions intended to improve functionality, performance, or understanding.

Regulation and safety aspects vary by domain. For dietary supplements, quality, dosage, interactions, and evidence of efficacy are important considerations, and claims are subject to regulatory standards in many jurisdictions. Consumers are advised to seek professional guidance for significant dietary changes and to prefer evidence-based products.

Etymology-wise, egészítés combines egész (whole) with -ítés, forming a noun that denotes the process or result of making something whole.
