parancsra

parancsra is a Hungarian word that translates to "on command" or "by order" in English. It is most commonly used in a military or formal context, referring to actions taken in response to an explicit instruction or directive. The word implies obedience and the absence of personal initiative; the action is performed solely because it was commanded.

In everyday language, "parancsra" can describe situations where someone is acting under the instruction of another, whether it's a parent telling a child to do something, or an employee following an order from their supervisor. However, its core meaning retains the nuance of external compulsion rather than voluntary action. It emphasizes the source of the action as being an authoritative directive.

The term can also be found in more figurative uses, such as describing a situation where something happens with surprising speed or efficiency, as if it were "on command." For example, a well-trained dog might retrieve an object "parancsra," meaning it does so instantly upon being asked. While the literal meaning relates to commands given by a superior, the broader implication is about a direct and immediate response to an external stimulus or instruction.
