Gondolatból

Gondolatból is a Hungarian adverbial phrase meaning "from thought" or "born of thought." It is formed from gondolat (thought) plus the ablative suffix -ból, which indicates origin. The expression is used to signal that something originates in the mind or is conceived through thinking, rather than derived from external sources.

In use, gondolatból appears in literary, philosophical, and analytical prose to emphasize intellectual origin. Examples include sentences like "A novella gondolatból született" (The novella was born of thought) and "A döntés gondolatból fakadt" (The decision originated from thought). It can also function as a modifier in noun phrases, such as "gondolatból kiinduló elgondolások" (thought-originating reflections). The phrase often contrasts with origins rooted in experience, observation, or data, such as expressions referencing experience-based or data-based conclusions.

Notes on meaning and scope: gondolatból is a standard linguistic construction rather than a fixed idiom. It is widely understood in Hungarian and is commonly employed across genres to foreground the mental genesis of ideas, theories, or conclusions. While it conveys emphasis on mental origin, it remains versatile and can be combined with various verbs and nouns to describe thought-derived content or processes.
