lágyulás
Lágyulás is a Hungarian term that translates to "softening" or "becoming soft" in English. It generally refers to a process where a solid or semi-solid substance loses its rigidity and becomes more pliable, yielding, or less firm. This transformation can occur due to various factors, including changes in temperature, chemical reactions, or the absorption of moisture.
In everyday contexts, lágyulás might describe food becoming softer, such as cheese left at room temperature
In a more technical or scientific sense, lágyulás can describe phenomena in metallurgy, where metals are heated
