felhúzó

A felhúzó is a term in Hungarian that can refer to several things, most commonly a type of undergarment or a tool used for pulling.

In the context of clothing, a felhúzó is generally an undergarment, often a slip or a petticoat worn by women beneath a dress or skirt. Its purpose is to provide a smoother silhouette, prevent transparency, and sometimes add a layer of warmth. The term itself translates roughly to "pull-up" or "something that is pulled on," which accurately describes the way such garments are worn. Historically, felhúzók could be made from various fabrics like cotton, silk, or synthetic materials, and their length and style varied depending on contemporary fashion.

Beyond clothing, a felhúzó can also denote a device or mechanism used for lifting or pulling. This could range from a simple rope and pulley system used in construction or manual labor to more complex mechanical hoists. In this sense, the word emphasizes the action of exerting force to move an object upwards or towards oneself. The specific design and function of a felhúzó as a tool would depend heavily on its intended application.
