küszöbölni

Küszöbölni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to overcome," "to eliminate," or "to prevent" in English. It refers to the act of successfully dealing with a difficulty, obstacle, or negative situation, thereby making it no longer a problem. The verb implies a proactive approach to resolving an issue.

The term can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might küszöbölni a health problem, meaning to overcome or cure it. In a more abstract sense, it can be applied to eliminating errors, such as küszöbölni a hibákat a szoftverben, which means to eliminate the bugs in the software. It can also refer to preventing something from happening, like küszöbölni a veszélyt, meaning to avert or prevent danger. The core idea is to render something ineffective or nonexistent.

The etymology of the word is not definitively known, but it likely derives from "küszöb," meaning "threshold" or "doorstep." This connection suggests the idea of crossing a threshold to leave a difficult situation behind, or preventing something from entering or passing over a threshold. The verb conveys a sense of finality in resolving a challenge.
