elvigyázatosan

elvigyázatosan is a Hungarian adverb that translates to "carefully" or "cautiously" in English. It describes an action performed with a high degree of attention to detail, a deliberate pace, and a mindful awareness of potential risks or negative consequences. The word is formed from the verb "elvigyáz," which means to take care of or look after something, combined with the adverbial suffix "-an."

When something is done elvigyázatosan, it implies that the person undertaking the action is not rushing. They are likely considering each step, anticipating problems, and taking measures to avoid them. This can apply to a wide range of situations, from physically handling a fragile object to making an important decision or navigating a complex social interaction. The emphasis is on preventing damage, error, or mishap through diligent observation and measured conduct. The opposite of elvigyázatosan would be acting carelessly or recklessly.
