diskurussal

Diskurussal is the instrumental singular form of the Hungarian noun diskurzus, meaning "discourse." It marks the instrument, means, or manner by which an action is performed or something is approached. The instrumental in Hungarian is formed with the suffix -val/-vel; for diskurzus the resulting form is diskurussal. In plural contexts, the corresponding form would be diskurzusokkal meaning "with discourses." The word is used in both everyday language and academic writing to indicate that discourse, discussion, or argumentation functions as the medium or tool through which an action occurs.

Etymology and scope: diskurzus is a loanword from Western European languages for "discourse" or "discussion," ultimately tracing to Latin discursus via French diskours and German Diskurs. The instrumental form diskurussal is a standard product of Hungarian suffixation for instrumental meaning.

Usage notes: Diskurussal tends to appear in formal or analytical registers, such as sociology, political science, philosophy, and rhetoric, where the role of discourse as a means or method is being described. It can pair with verbs of speaking, arguing, debating, or reasoning to denote the mode of engagement rather than physical means.
