parancsolók

Parancsolók is the plural form of parancsoló, a Hungarian noun meaning “one who gives commands.” It is used to refer to people who issue orders or directives, and it can apply to authorities in military, administrative, or organizational contexts. The term can designate individuals who hold command authority in a broad sense, from officers and leaders to any person who directs action by issuing commands. In modern Hungarian, more specific terms for military contexts are parancsnok or vezető, but parancsoló remains a general, somewhat formal designation and can appear in historical or literary writings.

Etymology: parancsoló is formed from the verb parancsolni (“to command”) and the noun parancs (“command”), with the agent suffix -ó. The plural is parancsolók.

Usage notes: Parancsolók can describe both singular and collective leadership in texts. The word emphasizes the act of issuing commands rather than the possession of formal rank, though in practice it often implies a position of authority.
