felbomlás

Felbomlás is a Hungarian noun that denotes breakdown, disintegration, or decay. It describes the process by which a whole loses its structural integrity and falls apart into parts or simpler constituents. The term is used in everyday language as well as in scientific and scholarly writing.

In science, felbomlás covers several senses. In chemistry and materials science, it refers to decomposition or degradation of substances, such as thermal decomposition, hydrolysis, or enzymatic breakdown, yielding smaller molecules. In physics, it can describe the disintegration of a nucleus or of particles, a process related to decay or fragmentation. In biology, felbomlás can mean biodegradation, where complex biomolecules are broken down by enzymes or microorganisms.

In social and political contexts, felbomlás denotes the dissolution or collapse of institutions, regimes, or organizations, typically arising from internal strain, external pressure, or economic crisis.

Characteristics and tempo vary: felbomlás may be gradual and progressive, or abrupt, triggered by a single event. Indicators include loss of cohesion, failure of function, or release of constituent parts.

Related terms include bomlás, which broadly means decomposition or decay. The exact sense of felbomlás is usually clarified by context, and different disciplines may prefer one wording over another.
