életbevágó

Életbevágó is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "life-saving," "vital," or "crucial" in English. It is used to describe something that is of utmost importance for survival or for the continued existence of something. The term is a compound word, with "élet" meaning "life" and "bevágó" relating to "cutting" or "severing," thus implying something that cuts to the very core of life or is essential for its continuation.

The word is frequently employed in contexts related to health, emergencies, and critical situations. For instance, a medical procedure could be described as "életbevágó" if it is necessary to save a patient's life. Similarly, a piece of equipment or a resource might be considered "életbevágó" if its absence would lead to dire consequences or immediate danger. Beyond literal survival, "életbevágó" can also describe things that are essential for the well-being or success of a project, organization, or even an idea. The urgency and significance conveyed by the term are paramount.
