der Beitritt, -e
accession · entry
Wenn jemand Teil einer Gruppe, Organisation oder Gemeinschaft wird.
The German word "Beitritt" is a noun that means "accession" or "joining". It comes from the verb "beitreten," which combines the prefix "bei-" (by, alongside) and "treten" (to step), literally translating to step by or join. "Beitritt" typically refers to becoming a member of an organization, club, or more formally, a country joining an international alliance or group.
Similar terms in German include "Eintritt" (entry, admission), "Anschluss" (connection, annexation), and "Mitgliedschaft" (membership). The differences generally lie in the context of use: "Eintritt" emphasizes simply entering, "Anschluss" can imply connection or integration, and "Mitgliedschaft" focuses more on the state of being a member. "Beitritt" specifically highlights the act or process of joining.
