kiindulását

Kiindulását is a Hungarian noun form derived from kiindulás, meaning departure or starting point. The base kiindulás can refer to the moment when someone or something leaves, such as a vehicle or a person starting a journey, as well as to the conceptual origin or basis of a process, argument, or plan. The specific form kiindulását is the definite accusative singular, used when the departure or starting point is treated as a definite object in a sentence (for example, when saying “the departure of the train”).

Etymology and usage unfold through kiindulás, which combines the verb indulni (to start, to depart) with the prefix ki- signaling outward movement, and the nominal suffix -ás to form a noun of action. The -t ending marks the definite accusative, indicating that kiindulását refers to a particular departure or starting point in context.

In practical use, kiindulását appears in travel or logistical contexts to designate the exact departure event ("A vonat kiindulását hétfő reggel közölték.") and in more abstract or academic language to denote the starting point of a theory, method, or investigation ("Ez a kiindulását jelenti a kutatásnak."). It can also be used in temporal constructions, such as kiindulásától számítva, meaning “from its starting point,” or “ten days have passed since the departure.”

Related terms include kiindulópont (starting point), kezdőpont, eredet, and kezdet. The concept contrasts with indulás, which more commonly emphasizes the act of starting, whereas kiindulás often emphasizes origin or basis.
