Virágból

Virágból is a Hungarian word-formation and grammatical form meaning “from a flower” or “out of a flower.” It is built from the noun virág (flower) plus the suffix -ból, which marks origin or source. In Hungarian, the suffix -ból/-ból indicates origin or source and shows vowel harmony; virág ends in a consonant with a back vowel (á), so the correct form is virágból.

The construction functions as a postpositional or attributive element that can modify nouns or appear in clauses to denote provenance, material, or derivation. It is commonly used in poetic or descriptive language as well as in technical contexts such as botany, perfumery, or gastronomy when specifying that a substance or scent originates from flowers. For example, az illat a virágból származik (the fragrance comes from the flower) and a virágból származó illat (a fragrance derived from the flower) illustrate its usage in simple and compound phrases.

Virágból can also appear in compound expressions describing derived products, such as virágból nyert kivonat (an extract obtained from a flower). The term exemplifies Hungarian noun-plus-suffix derivation and demonstrates how vowel harmony governs the choice between -ból and -ből in related forms. See also: -ból/-ből suffix, virág.
