jelentésmegrz

jelentésmegrz is a coined Hungarian neologism used in informal linguistic and media-analysis discussions to refer to a phenomenon wherein the meaning of a message is grasped or refracted by the audience in a way that differs from the speaker's intended meaning.

The form appears to be a compound built from jelentés (meaning) and a nonstandard suffix megrz, which is not attested in standard Hungarian. There is no authoritative etymology, and the term's precise sense varies across sources; it remains a niche or emergent term.

Usage in discourse is mainly found in online discussions, blogs, and social media among Hungarian speakers who study semantics or discourse. Proponents use jelentésmegrz to describe situations of semantic reinterpretation, pragmatic inference, or audience-driven meaning that deviates from the speaker's intent.

Examples are typically hypothetical or illustrative: a news caption that readers reinterpret to support a political position, a meme where the image and caption shift meaning, or a translation case in which the target-language meaning diverges from the source text.
