kiaknázó

Kiaknázó is a Hungarian term formed from kiaknázni, meaning to exploit or harness. It functions as both a noun and an adjective and denotes a person, organization, or process that exploits resources, opportunities, or others. In everyday use it often carries a negative connotation, especially in discussions of economics, labor, or environmental policy.

As a noun, kiaknázó means an exploiter; as an adjective, kiaknázó describes something that exploits. The word is common in political and economic discourse, where it can label practices, strategies, or actors perceived as extracting value with little regard for fair compensation or sustainability.

Examples: "egy kiaknázó vállalkozás" (an exploitative business), "kiaknázó erőforrás-használat" (exploitation of resources), "kiaknázó magatartás" (exploitative conduct). Related terms include kizsákmányolás (exploitation) and kizsákmányoló (exploiter).

Etymology: the word is formed from ki- (out, forth) + kiaknázni (to exploit/harness) with the agentive suffix -ó; the sense has broadened from literal exploitation to metaphorical exploitation of resources or people.
