összességével

Összességével is a Hungarian instrumental form of the abstract noun összesség, meaning totality or entirety. It is used to indicate that something is considered or taken together in its whole, rather than by individual parts. The expression is common in formal, analytical, or legal writing and can be translated roughly as “with its entirety” or “as a whole.”

Morphology and usage: The base noun összesség denotes the complete, collective nature of something. To convey “with its entirety,” the word appears in the instrumental case as összességével. It functions as an adverbial or adpositional element within a sentence, modifying how an action is performed or how a description is framed. Typical contexts include discussions that aim to emphasize holistic assessment, synthesis, or comparison of all aspects of a matter.

Examples: In a formal analysis, one might encounter phrases such as “A vizsgálat összességével véve a tényállást, …” meaning “Taking the facts as a whole, the study …” or “Az összességével értelmezett jelentés” meaning “the meaning interpreted in its entirety.” In practice, the term is slightly more specialized and often preferred in written discourse over more colloquial alternatives like teljességben vagy teljes egészében.

Etymology and register: Összesség is formed from összes (all) with the abstract noun suffix -ség, yielding totality. The instrumental form összességével is a formal, literary construction and is less common in everyday speech, where phrases such as “teljes egészében” or “összességében” may be used instead.
