összeérés

Összeérés is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or result of two entities meeting, touching, or aligning. It is used to describe a point where elements come into contact or converge, such as the intersection of lines in a geometric sense or the junction of routes in a transport network. The term can also be extended to refer to the synchronization or convergence of temporal events or ideas.

Etymology and sense: the word is formed from the prefix össze- meaning together, and érés, derived from érni “to reach” or “to touch.” The combination emphasizes bringing things into contact or making them coincide.

In geometry and related fields, összeérés refers to the moment or location where two lines, curves, or surfaces intersect or meet at a common point or along a common segment. For example, two straight lines in a plane may have an összeérés that defines their shared point. In practical contexts such as transportation planning or civil engineering, the term can describe a junction where different routes meet, although terms like kereszteződés or csomópont are more commonly used in everyday speech.

Figuratively, összeérés can describe synchronization or convergence of events, plans, or ideas, when different elements align in time or concept to enable a outcome or decision.
