Fellángoló

Fellángoló is a Hungarian adjective describing something that suddenly increases in intensity or reignites. The term is used for physical flames, for flare-ups in medical or biological contexts, and metaphorically for emotions, conflicts, opinions, or phenomena that surge or reappear with renewed force.

Origin and form: Fellángol comes from the verb fellángol, formed from the prefix fel- meaning “up” or “again” and láng, meaning “flame.” The suffix -ó yields an adjective indicating a state or characteristic (fellángoló). The related noun fellángolás denotes a flare-up or escalation.

Usage: In medical language, fellángoló can describe a relapse or resurgence of symptoms, such as fellángoló gyulladás (flare-up of inflammation) or fellángoló panaszok. In social or political discourse, one might speak of fellángoló nacionalizmus or fellángoló konfliktus to indicate renewed intensity or escalation. The term can also describe a sudden emotional surge, for example fellángoló szenvedély.

Notes: The term is neutral in itself, but its connotations depend on context. It is typically used in descriptive writing to chart changes in intensity rather than to praise or condemn. Fellángoló is widely understood in Hungarian and appears across medical, journalistic, and literary contexts.
