idegységre

Idegységre is a Hungarian term that denotes a state related to madness or mental instability. In contemporary medical Hungarian, terms like őrület or elmebetegség are standard; idegységre appears mainly in literary, historical, or idiomatic contexts and carries a more figurative or archaic nuance. The form is used to express movement toward or into a state of insanity, rather than to name a diagnosed condition.

Etymology and meaning: idegység means insanity or mental instability, formed from ideg (nerve) with the abstract noun suffix -ség. The suffix -re on idegységre indicates a directional or inflectional nuance in Hungarian that can convey “to” or “towards” the state described by idegység, yielding roughly “to madness” or “towards insanity.”

Usage and context: The term is rare in modern clinical writing and is more likely to appear in poetry, historical prose, or rhetorical expressions that aim to evoke extreme mental states. It may appear in explanations of metaphorical journeys into psychological crisis rather than as a technical diagnosis.
