lefedése

Lefedése is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb lefedni, meaning to cover or to blanket. It refers to the act of covering something or the result of that act, and it can be used for both literal coverings (such as a lid or a roof covering an object) and figurative ones (the extent to which an area, a dataset, or a service is covered by something). In everyday language, lefedése is most often encountered in technical or descriptive contexts where the scope or reach of a thing is being described.

Linguistic notes and related terms: the word is built with the prefix le- and the verb fedni, yielding the nominal form with the suffix -ése. Related concepts include fedés (the act of covering) and lefedettség (the degree or extent of coverage). While lefedése focuses on the act or result of covering, lefedettség is the more common term when discussing how widely something reaches or applies.

Contexts of use: in geography and cartography, lefedése can describe how comprehensively an area is included in a map, study, or project. In telecommunications and services, it may refer to the coverage of a network or service in a region. In data science and statistics, lefedése can denote the portion of a dataset or variable space that is encompassed by an analysis or model. The precise nuance depends on context, with lefedettség often preferred for stating overall coverage levels.

Note: Lefedése is less common as a standalone term in everyday speech, with lefedettség typically used to express coverage extent more succinctly in many contexts.
