Visszajövés

Visszajövés is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of coming back, return, or resurgence. It denotes the moment or process of returning to a place, state, or situation after an absence and can be used for literal arrivals as well as figurative renewals. In everyday language it is common in contexts such as a person returning home, a team’s comeback after a defeat, or the reappearance of a phenomenon after a hiatus. The term is closely related to visszatérés (return); the two are overlapping but visszajövés often emphasizes the event of coming back itself.

Etymology: The word is a compound of vissza- meaning "back" and jövés, the noun form of jönni "to come," with the -és suffix turning the phrase into a noun.

Usage: Visszajövés is used in neutral, descriptive contexts. Examples include a musician’s return after years away, or a population’s return to a region. In sports journalism it can describe a team’s late comeback in a match. In everyday speech it can also refer to the reappearance of a habit, custom, or trend.

Religious and cultural notes: For eschatological contexts Hungarian usually uses második eljövetel rather than visszajövés; nevertheless the word may appear in contemporary or lyrical usage to convey a sense of return.
