középpontú

Középpontú is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "centered on" or "concentric" in English. It is used in various contexts to describe objects or phenomena that share a common center.

In geometry, a set of circles is described as középpontú if they all have the same center point. This means that the distance from the center to any point on each circle's circumference is different, but the central point from which these distances are measured is identical. Similarly, in three-dimensional space, spheres can be described as having a common center, making them concentric. This concept is fundamental in understanding geometric relationships and properties.

Beyond mathematics, the term can be applied more broadly. For instance, a city's development might be described as középpontú if it has historically grown outwards from a central core, such as a market square or a significant historical building. In social sciences, a community or social group could be considered középpontú if it revolves around a particular idea, leader, or institution. The usage implies a radial structure or a focus emanating from a single origin. The essence of the term lies in the idea of a unifying central point around which other elements are arranged or organized.
