visszafordulását

Visszafordulás (Hungarian: “visszafordulás”) is a noun that denotes a reversal, a return, or the act of turning back to a previous state or direction. The term is formed from the verb visszafordul, which literally translates as “to turn back” or “to reverse.” It appears in various contexts, such as physical movements (e.g., a turning step in a dance), geological phenomena (a glacier’s receding motion), or economic and sociological trends (e.g., a reversal of public opinion or a policy rollback).

In everyday usage, visszafordulás can describe an involuntary or voluntary retraction. For instance, a person might experience visszafordulás of a muscle after overuse, indicating the muscle’s tendency to return to a resting tension. In a figurative sense, a political party might undergo visszafordulás when it abandons a previously adopted platform, signalling a retreat to earlier positions.

The term is widely used in meteorology, for describing the return of winds toward a geographical point, and in medicine, to outline the body’s natural proclivity to revert to a homeostatic balance after external stimuli. As with many Hungarian compound nouns, visszafordulás combines a directional prefix (vissza, “back”) with a verb root (fordul, “turn”), thereby encapsulating the idea of a motion toward a formerly held orientation.
