Összehúzódásra

Összehúzódásra is a Hungarian inflected form derived from the noun összehúzódás, meaning contraction or shortening. The suffix -ra (or -re) is added to indicate direction, target, or the object of a action, a usage common in technical and scientific Hungarian. As a result, összehúzódásra functions to specify what a process or capability is directed toward, or what data or observations pertain to.

In practice, összehúzódásra appears in contexts where a verb or description takes a target or object expressed by a contraction. For example, a sentence may read izomsejtek összehúzódásra képesek, meaning that muscle cells are capable of contracting. Another common construction is összehúzódásra vonatkozó, meaning “pertaining to contraction,” used to introduce data or statements related to the phenomenon of contraction, whether in physiology, materials science, or engineering.

Usage notes: as a postpositional form, összehúzódásra is primarily found in formal, scientific, or technical writing. It is less common in everyday speech, where simpler phrasing is typically preferred. The term is part of the broader linguistic and scientific vocabulary surrounding contractions and shortening processes, including izomösszehúzódás (muscle contraction) and other domain-specific expressions.
