rendellenesség

Rendellenesség is a Hungarian noun meaning abnormality, irregularity, defect, or disorder. It is used to describe a deviation from what is considered normal in a person, object, or system. The term is common in medical and scientific language, but it also appears in everyday speech to refer to flaws or irregularities in design, performance, or behavior.

Etymology: The word is formed from rend (order, regularity) with the prefix ellen- meaning against, and the noun-forming suffix -ség. The literal sense is a deviation opposite to order, but in practice rendellenesség denotes any departure from the typical or expected condition.

Usage: In medicine and health sciences it describes congenital or acquired conditions that disrupt normal structure or function, such as developmental or physical abnormalities, sensory impairments, or chronic disorders. In other fields it may describe irregularities in data, measurements, or manufacturing processes, where a result diverges from established standards. The plural rendellenességek is common.

Related terms and nuances: Rendellenes (abnormal) is an adjective closely related to rendellenesség. While similar to hiba (fault) or betegség (disease), rendellenesség emphasizes deviation from normal rather than a specific disease, and it can refer to a broad range of irregularities across different domains.
