legitimálta

Legitimálta is a Hungarian verb meaning "legitimized" or "made legitimate". It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb "legitimálni". The verb itself is derived from the Latin word "legitimus", meaning lawful or legal.

In Hungarian grammar, "legitimálta" indicates that an action or entity has been recognized as lawful, valid, or morally acceptable by some authority or societal consensus. The subject performing the action of legitimizing is typically implied or stated elsewhere in the sentence. For example, a government might have légitimálta a new law, or a historical event might have been légitimálta by subsequent developments.

The concept of legitimization is important in political science, sociology, and law. It refers to the process by which a ruler, government, or institution gains acceptance and the right to exercise power. This acceptance can be based on various factors, including tradition, charisma, or legality. When something is légitimálta, it is no longer seen as questionable or illegitimate but rather as proper and justified. The verb can also be used in a more general sense to imply that something has been validated or confirmed as genuine or authentic.
