megnyugvást

Megnyugvást is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun megnyugvás, meaning relief, reassurance, or calm after anxiety or distress. It can denote either the emotional state itself or an event that brings such calm. In everyday language it commonly occurs with verbs that express bringing or signaling relief, for example: "a hír megnyugvást hozott" (the news brought relief), "megnyugvást jelent" (it means relief).

Usage and nuance: Megnyugvást conveys a sense of relieved calm that can be stronger than merely nyugalom. It is used in emotional, psychological, and religious contexts to describe consolation or spiritual peace. The expression can appear in constructions such as "megnyugvást talál" (to find relief) or "megnyugvást nyer" (to gain relief).

Etymology and related terms: Megnyugvás is formed from nyugvás (rest, repose) with the prefix meg-, which signals attainment or completion. Related terms include nyugalom (calm), megnyugtatás (reassurance or calming), and megnyugvó (calming, soothing, or calm). The term is common in literary, journalistic, and everyday Hungarian, and it can also appear in religious or philosophical discourse to denote spiritual consolation.
