fatális

The word "fatális" is of Latin origin, derived from the word "fatalis," meaning destined or appointed by fate. It is commonly used in several languages, including Hungarian, to denote something that is deadly, catastrophic, or portends disaster. In a medical context, a fatális condition refers to one that is inevitably leading to death. This can apply to diseases, injuries, or complications arising from either.

Beyond medical usage, "fatális" can describe events that have dire consequences or are marked by misfortune. For example, a "fatális hiba" translates to a fatal error, implying a mistake so significant that it leads to failure or ruin. It can also be used metaphorically to describe an overwhelming or inescapable negative outcome. The concept of fate or destiny is often associated with the term, suggesting an unavoidable or predetermined end. In literature and storytelling, "fatális" elements often drive the plot towards tragic conclusions, highlighting the power of unseen forces or unavoidable circumstances. The word carries a strong connotation of finality and irreversibility.
