ellenálláson

Ellenállás is a Hungarian noun that denotes resistance or opposition, spanning both physical and abstract meanings. In science, it refers to electrical or material resistance to current or flow. In social and political contexts, it describes organized or spontaneous opposition to authority, regime, or occupation, as well as more general forms of defiance.

The form ellenálláson is the locative singular of ellenállás. Hungarian uses locative forms to indicate location, surface, or context, with the suffix -on/-en/-ön chosen according to vowel harmony and stem type. For nouns ending in -ás, the locative singular commonly becomes -áson. Thus ellenállás yields ellenálláson.

In usage, ellenálláson appears in phrases that express position or means related to the concept of resistance. For example, one might say az ellenálláson belül to mean “within the resistance,” or ellenálláson keresztül to indicate something occurring “through the resistance.” The locative form is often found after prepositions or verbs of location and is part of standard Hungarian grammatical constructions describing spatial or contextual relationships.

Etymology-wise, ellenállás derives from the prefix ellen- meaning against and the noun állás meaning standing or position, combining to convey the notion of standing against something. The locative ellenálláson therefore functions as a grammatical tool to situate events, actions, or phenomena in relation to the concept of resistance.
