megállító

Megállító is a Hungarian term that translates to "stopper" or "halt" in English. It most commonly refers to a physical barrier or a device designed to prevent movement. In traffic contexts, a megállító might be a speed bump, a bollard, or a physical barrier used to direct or restrict vehicular or pedestrian flow. These are implemented for safety reasons, to control traffic speed, or to prevent access to certain areas.

The term can also be used more broadly to describe anything that causes a stop or cessation. For instance, a mechanical megállító would be a component in a machine that arrests its motion. In a metaphorical sense, a megállító could represent an obstacle or a significant hindrance that brings a process or activity to a standstill. The specific meaning is usually clarified by the surrounding context in which the word is used. Its function is always one of prevention of continued motion or progress.
