csúcsig

Csúcsig is a term in the Hungarian language that roughly translates as "to the summit" or "up to the peak." It is used as a directional expression in hiking, mountaineering, and travel writing to indicate movement toward the highest point of a landscape or route, such as a mountain summit or a hilltop.

Etymology and grammar: The noun csúcs means "peak" or "summit," and the postpositional suffix -ig indicates extent or limit in the direction of motion. Together they form a phrase that pairs with verbs of movement, giving a destination: for example, "feljutni csúcsig" or "út a csúcsig." The construction is flexible and appears in various grammatical contexts to describe reaching or aiming for the top.

Toponymy and usage: There is no widely recognized place officially named "Csúcsig" in standard gazetteers. When used in toponymy, it tends to appear as a descriptive element within longer names or as part of route descriptions rather than as a standalone locality name. In guides and signage, csúcsig helps communicate the intended destination for hikers or climbers.
