megelzéshez

Megelzéshez is a Hungarian noun phrase used to express purpose, roughly translating to “for relief” or “to achieve relief.” It is formed from the noun megelzés, meaning relief or alleviation, with the directional suffix -hoz, which indicates aim or intention. The expression is most common in formal or clinical language and appears inside larger noun phrases that specify the goal of an intervention, treatment, or coping effort.

Etymology and grammar: megelzés denotes the act or state of relief, while -hoz marks direction toward that goal. The resulting form, megelzéséhez, is used to link a noun or clause to its purpose, for example in phrases describing actions taken for relief. It is distinct from megelőzés, which means prevention rather than relief.

Usage and contexts: Megelzéshez is typically found in medical, caregiving, or therapeutic texts, policy documents, and academic writing. It signals that a procedure, medication, or technique is intended to alleviate symptoms, pain, or distress. It can appear with various nouns, such as "fájdalom megelzéséhez" (for relief of pain) or "stressz megelzéséhez" (to relieve stress).
