többpontú

Többpontú is a Hungarian adjective meaning “having multiple points” or “involving several focal points.” It is formed from the stem pont meaning point, the prefix több meaning many, and the adjectival suffix -ú. The form is used before a noun and agrees with it in number and gender (for example: többpontú mérés, többpontú rendszer). The adverbial form is többe pontosan? No, the correct adverb is többpontúan.

In usage, the term appears across scientific, technical, and industrial contexts to indicate configurations or methods that rely on multiple points. Common phrases include többpontú mérés (multi-point measurement), többpontú kalibráció (multi-point calibration), and többpontú érintőképernyő (multi-point touchscreen). It also crops up in data collection or sensing contexts as többpontú adatgyűjtés and többpontú érzékelés. In geometry or related fields, többpontú elrendezés may describe arrangements involving several distinct points.

Morphology and style notes: the compound is generally treated as a descriptive adjective and is written as a single word, though some technical texts may prefer hyphenation for clarity. The primary contrast term is egypontú, used to denote single-point configurations.

See also: egypontú, többérintéses (multitouch), multi-point calibration (többpontú kalibráció) in related technical literature. The term reflects a broader tendency in Hungarian to form compound adjectives that indicate multiplicity or distribution across several reference points.
