It is commonly used in contexts where one is referring to the origin or beginning of something, whether it be information, a river, an idea, or a problem. The verb implies a process of tracing back to a point of inception or a root cause.

In the context of information or knowledge, forrásztani is used to identify the source from which a piece of data, a fact, or an opinion is derived. For example, "Honnan forrásztani ezt az információt?" translates to "Where did you source this information from?". This is crucial for verifying accuracy and understanding the credibility of the information.

Figuratively, the verb can be applied to abstract concepts. For instance, "A probléma a gazdasági válságból forrászik" means "The problem stems from the economic crisis." Here, it indicates the underlying cause or root of a situation. The act of forrásztani involves investigation and the establishment of a connection between an effect and its originating cause or source.
