fajlagosan

Fajlagosan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a species-specific manner” or “by species.” It is used to describe phenomena whose occurrence, magnitude, or character depends on the particular species being considered. In scientific writing, fajlagosan signals that a statement may not apply uniformly across different species.

Etymology and form: The word is built from faj, meaning species, with the adverbial suffix -lagosan. This suffix is used in Hungarian to form adverbs that express manner or manner of occurrence. As a result, fajlagosan functions to qualify verbs or clauses by indicating a species-dependent pattern.

Usage and context: Fajlagosan appears mainly in biology, pharmacology, ecology, and comparative anatomy to highlight interspecies variation. It helps prevent overgeneralization when results differ between species. For example, a drug might fajlagosan affect one species while showing little or no effect in others, or a physiological response might fajlagosan vary among different animal taxa.

Examples:

- A gyógyszer fajlagosan hat az egérfajra, és nem mutat hasonló hatást más fajokra.

- Az allergén reakció fajlagosan különbözik a kutyák és macskák között.
