méretezni

Méretezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to resize or scale the size of an object. It is used across disciplines to describe altering dimensions, such as images, layouts, drawings, or physical models. In digital contexts, méretezni often refers to changing width and height, sometimes while preserving aspect ratio to avoid distortion.

Origin and form: The word is formed from the noun méret (size) with the infinitive suffix -ezni. The related noun méretezés denotes the act or process of resizing, and méretező can describe a tool or process that performs resizing. The term can appear in compound forms such as átméretezni (to resize again) or be used in various contexts involving dimension changes.

Usage and contexts: In graphic design, web development, CAD, and image editing, méretezés involves setting new dimensions or applying a scaling factor. It is common to specify either exact dimensions (for example, width and height) or a percentage of the original size. While méretezni is often used in everyday language, átméretezni is also common and may be used interchangeably in many contexts, though nuances can exist between enlarging, shrinking, and preserving proportions. In technical documentation, méretezés is described in terms of algorithms and interpolation methods when resizing digital images or drawings.
