Láncként

Láncként is a term of Hungarian origin, often encountered in historical or genealogical contexts. It derives from the word "lánc" meaning "chain" and "ként" which functions as a suffix indicating "as" or "in the capacity of". Therefore, "láncként" can be understood to mean "as a chain" or "in chains". This phrase typically refers to a state of bondage or servitude, often in historical legal or social structures.

Historically, the term might have been used to describe individuals who were literally bound or enslaved, or it could have had a more figurative application to those under severe obligation or dependency. In some historical records, it might appear in descriptions of confiscated property or as a status attributed to certain individuals or groups within a feudal or early modern society. The precise context in which "láncként" is used is crucial for a full understanding of its meaning. It implies a lack of freedom and a condition of being controlled or constrained, similar to being part of a physical chain. Its usage is largely confined to historical documents and scholarly discussions of Hungarian social and legal history.
