Megrángása

Megrángása is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb megrángat, meaning to jerk, yank, or pull abruptly. The base noun megrángás denotes a sudden, forceful movement of a body part, an object, or a mechanism. The form megrángása is the possessive variant, typically translated as “its jerk” or “the jerking of it,” and is used to refer to a specific instance of jerking within a sentence.

In everyday language, megrángás describes a sudden, sharp movement. Examples include the jerking of an arm, a rope, or a machine, often with a sense of surprise or disruption. A sentence such as “A kar megrángása fájdalmat okozott” communicates that the jerk of the arm caused pain. The expression can be used both literally, for physical movements, and metaphorically to describe abrupt or disruptive action.

In medical or technical contexts, more precise terms are commonly preferred, such as izomgörcs (muscle spasm) or rándulás (sprain or abrupt displacement), depending on the exact phenomenon. Megrángása thus serves as a general, non-technical descriptor for a sudden jerk or abrupt pull, rather than a specific clinical diagnosis.
