memusat

Memusat is an Indonesian verb meaning to centralize, concentrate, or focus. In standard usage, the common infinitive form is memusatkan, which is built from the noun pusat (center) with the prefix me- and the suffix -kan, indicating a transitive action. The stem memusat appears in some lexical entries or inflected forms, but it is not typically used as a stand-alone form in contemporary writing.

Etymology and grammar: memusatkan derives from pusat, and the me- prefix marks a present or future-action verb in Malay and Indonesian. The -kan suffix changes the root into a transitive verb that conveys causing something to become centralized or focused. This construction is part of a broader set of verbs formed from noun bases to express action toward a center or focus.

Usage: Memusatkan is used with a direct object that receives the centralizing action. Examples include memusatkan perhatian pada suatu masalah (to focus attention on a problem), memusatkan sumber daya untuk tujuan tertentu (to centralize resources for a specific goal), and memusatkan upaya untuk mencapai target (to concentrate efforts to reach a target). In organizational or policy contexts, memusatkan operations or resources is a common expression.

Variasi and related terms: Synonyms include memfokuskan and mengkonsentrasikan, both of which convey focusing or concentrating. Related nouns include pusat (center) and konsentrasi (concentration). The term memusatkan is the standard form; memusat or related stems are rarely used outside certain lexical or historical contexts.
