mozgástól

Mozgástól is a form used in Hungarian grammar to express origin or starting point, literally translating to “from movement.” It is created by attaching the postpositional suffix -tól to the noun mozgás (movement), yielding the single word mozgástól. In function, it marks source or provenance and can be used in both physical and figurative senses.

Morphology and usage notes: The suffix -tól is one of several origin postpositions in Hungarian. When added to a noun, it indicates where something comes from or what a process derives from. The noun stem mozgás combines with -tól to form mozgástól, written as one word. This form can occur in sentences referring to physical causes – for example, vibrations or forces that arise from movement – as well as in figurative contexts where movement serves as the source of a result or effect. Commonly, mozgástól appears in phrases such as a rezgések a mozgástól függenek (“the vibrations depend on movement”) or a jel a mozgástól függően változik (“the signal changes depending on movement”).

Usage context: Mozgástól is most likely to appear in technical, scientific, or descriptive language where the origin or causal relation to movement is being discussed. It is part of a broader system of Hungarian suffixes that denote origin (such as -tól, -től), and it contrasts with other forms that indicate from inside, from within, or from a related source.
