ellenállását

ellenállását is a form of the Hungarian noun ellenállás, meaning resistance or opposition. The base word ellenállás denotes a state or act of opposing, standing against something, and it can apply in a wide range of contexts, from social or political defiance to physical, electrical, or biological resistance. In ordinary language, it can describe acts of resistance against oppression or coercion; in scientific and technical usage, it refers to a material or system’s opposition to the passage of current, heat, or pathogens.

Etymology: ellenállás is formed from the prefix ellen-, meaning against, and állás, derived from állni, to stand. The combination conveys the idea of standing against something. Ellenállását is the definite direct object (accusative) form of ellenállás, used when the resistance is the thing being referred to or acted upon in a sentence.

Contexts and usage: In political or social discourse, ellenállás refers to organized or spontaneous opposition to a regime, occupation, or policy. In military history, fegyveres ellenállás denotes armed resistance movements. In science and engineering, ellenállás can mean electrical resistance (áramellenállás) or thermal and other forms of resistance in physical systems. In biology, the term rezisztencia is commonly used, for example antibiotikum-rezisztencia to describe resistance to drugs.

See also: ellenállás, áramellenállás, rezisztencia. Ellenállását as a grammatical form is used when the resistance is the definite object of the action described.
