Kéregért

Kéregért is a Hungarian compound noun formed from kéreg (bark, rind, cortex) and -ért (for, worth). It is used to refer to the price or value assigned to bark products. The term is most likely to appear in contexts related to forestry, botany, or trade where tree bark is harvested and sold. In modern Hungarian, kéregért is not a common everyday term; more typical expressions are kéreg ára (the price of bark) or a kéreg értéke (the value of the bark).

Usage and context: In historical documents and niche industry texts, kéregért may designate the remuneration due for a quantity of bark, or the market value of bark depending on quality, species, and demand. The concept covers various bark products, including medicinal barks used in pharmacology or industrial bark products used for tannins, dyes, or cork processing, though the precise category is dependent on period and region.

Linguistic notes: The term is not standardized in major dictionaries, and contemporary usage generally favors explicit phrases such as a kéreg ára or a kéreg értéke. Its appearance is thus primarily of historical or technical interest rather than common current usage.
