terhelésig

Terhelésig is a Hungarian term formed from the noun terhelés, meaning load or burden, and the suffix -ig, which expresses the idea of "up to" or "until." The combination functions as a boundary marker in technical language, indicating the upper limit of a parameter with respect to an applied load.

In practice, terhelésig is most common in engineering, materials science, and safety documentation. It is used to specify the maximum load under which a device, component, or system remains within its rated performance or safety conditions. The expression helps communicate concise limits in specifications, test protocols, and compliance statements without repeating longer formulations.

Because terhelésig denotes an upper bound tied to load, it is often contrasted with related phrases that denote conditions below or above that limit, such as under load or beyond the specified load. Its precise interpretation depends on the context and the accompanying numerical or qualitative qualifiers (for example, a particular load value, temperature, or environmental condition). The term thus serves as a compact way to summarize a range of permissible operating conditions in technical documentation.

Etymologically, terhelésig illustrates Hungarian morphology in which the base noun is extended by -ig to express extent or limit. It belongs to a family of -ig constructions used to mark boundaries in measurements and ratings. See also terhelés, -ig suffix, and load-related specification terminology.
