visszalépni

visszalépni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to step back," "to withdraw," or "to back out" in English. It is formed by combining the prefix "vissza-" meaning "back" or "again" with the verb "lépni" meaning "to step" or "to walk."

The verb can be used in a variety of contexts. Physically, it can describe the action of moving backward, such as "visszalépni a sorból" (to step back from the line). Figuratively, it often implies retreating from a commitment, decision, or situation. For instance, someone might "visszalépni a tervtől" (back out of the plan) if they decide not to proceed with it. It can also denote withdrawing from a competition or agreement, as in "visszalépni a választástól" (to withdraw from the election). The act of stepping back can suggest caution, reconsideration, or sometimes even failure to fulfill an obligation. The context in which the verb is used generally clarifies the specific meaning.
