Tumortól

Tumortól is the ablative form of the noun tumor in Hungarian. It expresses origin or source, roughly translating to “from the tumor.” The form is created by adding the ablative suffix -tól to the noun, and it appears in contexts where something is described as originating from or relating to a tumor. In medical writing, tumortól often appears alongside other diagnostic or research terms.

In practice, tumortól is most commonly found in phrases that specify origin, such as tumortól származó sejtek (tumor-derived cells) or tumortól vett minták (samples taken from the tumor). It functions similarly to other Hungarian ablative forms to indicate starting point or provenance. The usage follows general Hungarian morphology rules and typically coexists with the standard terminology used in a given text.

Relation to other terms: the more common everyday term for a tumor is daganat. In many Hungarian texts, especially non-specialist writing, daganat-tól or daganattól might be preferred, depending on stylistic choices and audience. However, in bilingual or international medical literature, tumortól can appear when the English loanword tumor is used or when authors maintain a consistent terminology set that includes tumor.

See also: daganat, tumortípus, tumor in medical nomenclature. Overall, tumortól is a niche but standard ablative form used to indicate origin from a tumor, most often in technical or bilingual medical contexts.
