kérge

Kérge is a term that can refer to several things, primarily in the context of language and biology. In Hungarian, "kéreg" is the word for bark, the outermost protective layer of a tree. This biological meaning is common and straightforward.

Beyond the literal sense of tree bark, "kéreg" can also be used metaphorically. In psychology, "cerebrale kéreg" translates to cerebral cortex, the outer layer of the cerebrum in the brain, responsible for higher-level functions like thought, language, and memory. This usage highlights the idea of an outer layer or covering.

In a broader linguistic context, "kéreg" might appear in discussions of etymology or as a root in compound words. However, without more specific context, it is most often understood as either tree bark or, in a scientific setting, the cerebral cortex. Its usage generally implies a protective outer layer or a fundamental surface.
