Körkörös

Körkörös is a Hungarian adjective meaning circular or ring-shaped, and it can also describe something cyclical or recurring. The term is commonly used to characterize objects, motions, or processes that form a circle or repeat in a cycle. In everyday language it may describe shapes (körkörös alakzat), trajectories, or patterns that follow a closed loop.

Etymology and formation: körkörös is formed from the noun kör, meaning circle, with the suffix -körös, which denotes having the character or property of the base element. The suffix is productive in Hungarian, allowing the formation of related terms such as körkörös mozgás (circular motion), körkörös elrendezés (ring-shaped arrangement), and körkörös utasítás (circular workflow) when used in technical contexts.

Common uses: In geometry and physics, körkörös mozgás refers to movement along a circular path around an axis or point. In engineering or design, körkörös elrendezés describes components arranged in a ring. In logic and rhetoric, körkörös érvelés denotes circular reasoning, where the conclusion relies on premises that assume the conclusion. In computing, körkörös hivatkozás describes circular references, such as when two or more elements reference each other in a way that creates a loop.
