extrêm

Extrém is a word used in several languages to denote something at the outer limit or of very high intensity. In Hungarian, the term is spelled extrém and functions as the adjective extreme; it appears in compounds such as extrém sportok (extreme sports) and extrém körülmények (extreme conditions). In other languages, the root is related to extreme, and the form extrém is sometimes used in stylized titles or branding to convey intensity or novelty.

Etymology traces the term to Latin extremus, passing into French as extrême and then into various languages. In Hungarian orthography the diacritic accent marks a specific vowel sound and helps distinguish extrém from other similar forms. The concept broadly parallels the English word extreme, and the two share a common heritage even when adaptations occur in spelling and usage.

In cultural and commercial contexts, extrém is frequently chosen as a name or descriptor to imply risk, novelty, or high performance. It may appear as a brand name, a magazine or event title, or a label for outdoor equipment and adventure activities, often presented with distinctive typography to emphasize its meaning.
