indító

Indító is a term used in several Central European languages, most notably Hungarian, where it functions as both a noun and an adjective derived from the verb indít, meaning to start or initiate. As an adjective, indító describes something that initiates or starts a process, such as indító jel (a trigger signal) or indító mechanizmus (initiation mechanism) in technical contexts. As a noun, indító commonly refers to a device, component, or signal that begins a process, for example an ignition or starting mechanism in machinery or vehicles; in electronics, it may denote a control signal that starts a circuit.

The etymology traces to the verb indít, from a root meaning to set in motion. The word forms part of several compound terms and is often specialized to technical fields, where it designates initiating or triggering elements. In other languages with cognate forms, a similar concept exists, though spelling and exact usage vary; in those contexts, the term may be translated as "starter," "ignition," or "trigger" depending on the domain.

In modern usage, indító tends to appear in engineering and technical writing as part of compound nouns. Outside technical language, the term can appear in general descriptions of initiation or starting procedures, although it is less common in everyday language.
