vezérelhet

Vezérelhet is a Hungarian term used to describe the property of a system to be steered or controlled by an agent or controller. The word can function as an adjective meaning “steerable” and, in technical contexts, to express the possibility that a system could be guided by a given control mechanism. It is formed from the verb vezérel (to steer/guide) with the suffix -het, which marks potentiality in Hungarian.

Etymology and form: The base verb vezérel carries the sense of directing or guiding actions, and the suffix -het signals possibility. In theory, vezérelhet would be used to discuss whether a particular mechanism or controller could direct a system under specified conditions. In practice, speakers more often use related forms such as vezérelhető or irányítható to convey steerability or controllability, while vezérelhet appears mainly in niche or formal texts.

Usage and context: The term is most likely to appear in discussions of control theory, robotics, autonomous systems, or modeling where the focus is on whether a system’s behavior can be directed by a controller. It functions to denote a property rather than an action, for example when assessing the feasibility of steering a drone along a planned trajectory or controlling a process under a set of rules. In general Hungarian usage, vezérelhető (steerable) or irányítható (controllable) are preferred in everyday language.

Related forms and notes: A related noun form such as vezérelhetőség (steerability) can be used to refer to the property itself. The term remains relatively rare outside technical literature, where precise terminology for controllability and guidance is common.
