eredjeként

Eredjeként is a form that can be constructed in Hungarian by attaching the suffix -ként to a stem related to the idea of origin or role, but it is not a standard, widely attested word. In ordinary Hungarian the usual way to express “as the origin” or “in the capacity of origin” is the noun-based form eredetként. The form eredjeként is rarely documented and, when encountered, is typically considered nonstandard, archaic, or poetic rather than a normative part of contemporary usage.

Etymology and morphology

The word is analyzed as a derivation connected to the concept of origin (eredet) and the suffix -ként, which marks function or role, similar to other formations like tanárként (as a teacher) or forrásként (as a source). However, standard Hungarian lexicon favors forms built directly on nouns (eredetként) rather than verb-derived or irregular variants. Because eredjeként is uncommon, its exact interpretation is highly context-dependent and it is not recommended for formal writing.

Usage and notes

In practice, one would use eredetként when intending to say “as the origin” in a clear, conventional way. If a text contains eredjeként, readers may interpret it as a nonstandard, dialectal, or stylistically marked choice, or as an error. For most purposes, replacing it with eredetként or with a phrase like “az eredet szerepében” or “eredetének tekintve” yields clearer, more accepted Hungarian.
