Boxoló

Boxoló is a Hungarian term that can refer to a few different things, most commonly a type of bird or a colloquial term for a boxer. In ornithology, boxoló typically refers to species within the *Sylviidae* family, particularly those known for their lively and somewhat agitated movements. These birds are often found in bushes and hedgerows and are characterized by their small size and often brown or grayish plumage. Their song can be quite varied and complex.

Alternatively, boxoló can be used informally in Hungarian to describe a boxer, someone who participates in the sport of boxing. This usage is a direct translation of the English word "boxer" into Hungarian. The context in which the word is used is crucial for understanding its intended meaning. When discussing nature or wildlife, it refers to the bird. When talking about sports or physical combat, it refers to the athlete.

The word itself likely derives from the act of "boxing" or fighting, which links both meanings. The bird's quick, percussive movements might be seen as analogous to the quick jabs and movements of a boxer.
