Áttétel

áttétel is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of transferring or conveying something from one entity to another. It is used broadly across disciplines to denote the process of transmission or passage, and it can refer to physical transfer, dissemination of information, or assignment of tasks, rights, or obligations. The term derives from the prefix át- meaning across and tétel, a thing or item, underscoring movement across boundaries.

In biology and medicine, áttétel commonly describes transmission of pathogens from one host to another, including through direct contact, droplets, airborne routes, or vectors. In genetics, it can refer to the transmission of genetic material from parents to offspring, as well as segregation patterns that govern inheritance.

In information technology and communications, áttétel denotes the transmission of data or signals across a channel, with attention to factors such as bandwidth, latency, and reliability. In everyday language, the term may be used metaphorically for the spread of ideas, practices, or rules, or for the transfer of responsibilities or titles within organizations.

The specific interpretation of áttétel depends on context, with closely related terms such as transzmisszió (transmission), eloszlás (distribution), or öröklés (inheritance) often used as field-specific equivalents.
