Feltetelez

Feltetelez is a term of Hungarian origin, literally translating to "felt" or "wool blanket" in its first component and "to believe" or "to assume" in its second. It is commonly used in everyday language to express a presumption or a hunch about something, often in the absence of concrete evidence. The word implies a belief that is formed based on intuition, experience, or limited information rather than on absolute certainty.

The usage of feltetelez can range from informal speculation among friends to more serious, albeit still unconfirmed, hypotheses in a professional context. For instance, one might say they "feltetelez" that a certain event will occur because of a pattern they've observed, or that a particular person might be feeling a certain way based on their demeanor. It signifies a state of thinking that is not yet a firm conclusion but rather a preliminary understanding or expectation. The term carries a sense of provisionality, acknowledging that the assumption may or may not prove to be correct. It highlights the human tendency to make sense of the world through inference and educated guesses.
