magyarázathoz

Magyarázathoz is the allative form of the Hungarian noun magyarázat, meaning explanation or clarification. In Hungarian grammar, the allative suffix marks direction toward something or the recipient of an action, and it appears as -hoz, -hez, or -höz depending on vowel harmony and surrounding phonology. Magyarázathoz specifically uses the -hoz variant, corresponding to the back-vowel harmony of the base word.

The form is created by attaching the allative suffix to the noun: magyarázat + -hoz → magyarázathoz. This indicates a directional relationship or a purpose related to the explanation, such as something prepared for the explanation or directed toward the explanation as its target. In usage, magyarázathoz commonly appears in phrases describing materials, tasks, or actions that are intended for or connected with an explanation. For example, one might say "a magyarázathoz készült jegyzetek" (notes prepared for the explanation) or "a magyarázathoz tartozó ábrák" (figures pertaining to the explanation).

Relation to other forms: magyarázathoz is part of a broader set of allative forms in Hungarian, including -hoz and -hez/-höz, which vary according to vowel harmony. These forms all convey the idea of movement toward or purpose related to the noun they attach to, but the specific suffix choice depends on the phonological characteristics of the base word.
