kövesdés

Kővesdés is a Hungarian term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily involving the presence or creation of stones. In a geological context, it often describes the process by which sedimentary rocks are formed through the accumulation and cementation of mineral grains, sand, gravel, or even fossil fragments. This can lead to the formation of various types of stony deposits. The word can also denote a stony or rocky terrain, an area characterized by a large amount of loose stones or pebbles. In agriculture, kővesdés might refer to the process of clearing land of stones to make it suitable for cultivation. This involves removing rocks and boulders to improve soil quality and ease of farming. Furthermore, the term can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe a hardening or becoming stony, though this is less common than its literal meanings. The specific meaning of kővesdés often depends on the context in which it is used, but it fundamentally relates to the presence, formation, or removal of stones.
