Alaposalaposabb

Alaposalaposabb is a nonce word or neologistic construction in Hungarian used to denote an extremely well-founded or thoroughly justified quality. It is formed by taking alapos, meaning well-founded or thorough, combining it with the comparative form alaposabb (more well-founded), and then reinforcing the intensification by a second, overlapping element. The result is a tongue-in-cheek or emphatic descriptor rather than a standard dictionary entry.

Etymology and formation

The term plays on standard Hungarian morphology by extending a familiar adjective through repetition and compounding. While alapos and alaposabb are established, alaposalaposabb is not part of formal grammar; it emerges in informal speech, satire, or rhetorical writing as an exaggerated way to stress the degree of thoroughness. It is typically treated as a stylistic device rather than a conventional adjective.

Usage and nuance

Alaposalaposabb is primarily used for humorous, hyperbolic, or rhetorical emphasis. It signals that something is not just thoroughly grounded, but exceptionally so, often beyond typical expectations. In discourse, it may appear in arguments, critiques, or descriptive prose where the author wishes to quash doubt by signaling extraordinary diligence or justification.

Examples

- A jelentés alaposalaposabb volt, mint amit eddig láttunk. (The report was even more thoroughly grounded than anything we’ve seen before.)

- A kutatási módszertan alaposalaposabb, mint valaha, és ez új szintre emeli az eredményeket. (The methodology is extraordinarily thorough, elevating the results to a new level.)
