terjedési

Terjedési is a Hungarian attributive adjective derived from terjedés, meaning the act or process of spreading. The form expresses relation to spread and is used to describe phenomena whose distribution over time or space is of interest. In technical language it typically accompanies nouns such as görbe, sebesség, mintázat, modell or határ to form terms like terjedési görbe (curve describing the progression of spread), terjedési sebesség (rate at which something spreads), terjedési mintázat (distribution or spread pattern), terjedési modell (model of spread), and terjedési határ (boundary of spread).

It is common in disciplines that study dissemination or contagion, including epidemiology, ecology, geoscience, and physics. For example, one might refer to terjedési görbe to illustrate how an outbreak progresses over time, or terjedési sebesség to indicate how quickly a species or a pathogen expands its range.

Etymologically, terjedési is formed by attaching the suffix -i to terjedés to create an adjective that denotes relation to the act of spreading. Its usage is primarily found in technical or academic language, where precise description of spread dynamics is required. Related terms include terjedés (the act of spreading) and elterjedés (the process of becoming widespread), though each carries its own nuance.
