legyzését

Legyyzését is the non-diacritic rendering of the Hungarian noun legyőzését, which denotes the act or result of defeating someone or something. Legyőzés means defeat, overcoming, or conquest, and is formed from the verb legyőzni (to defeat, overcome) plus the nominalizing suffix -zés. The ending -ét marks the noun’s usage as a definite direct object in a sentence, so legyőzését translates roughly as “its defeat” or “the defeat of it” depending on context.

In typical use, legyőzés/legyőzését appear in sports, military, or competitive contexts to describe defeating an opponent; it can also refer to overcoming obstacles more abstractly, as in “a nehézségek legyőzése” (overcoming difficulties). The form legyőzését is the definite direct object form, e.g., “a csapat legyőzését tervezték” (“they planned the defeat of the team”).

Orthography: Hungarian uses diacritics in standard writing; the diacritic-free rendering of legyőzését would be legyozeset. In practice, the non-diacritic form legyozeset may appear in computer systems or older texts that omit diacritics; however legyőzését is the correct standard form in Hungarian.
