feladó

Feladó is a Hungarian noun meaning sender or consignor. It is formed from the verb felad, meaning to dispatch or entrust. The term is used in several contexts, most notably in postal and logistical settings as well as in digital communications.

In postal and logistics contexts, the feladó is the person or organization that sends a letter, parcel, or shipment. The feladó provides identifying information such as name and return address. On shipping labels and forms, the feladó’s address helps with transit, returns, and customs processes. The recipient, or címzett, is the one to whom the item is addressed, and the feladó’s details may be required for compliance and contact if issues arise.

In digital communications, the feladó corresponds to the sender in the From field of an email or message. While this attribution is central for routing and accountability, sender identity can be spoofed. Modern email systems employ authentication mechanisms such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify the feladó’s legitimacy and reduce fraud and spam.

In legal or formal documents, the feladó denotes the party who initiates a notice, declaration, or communication. The term thus encompasses both physical and electronic contexts, always referring to the originator or sender of a message, parcel, or statement.
