származású

Származású is a Hungarian adjective meaning origin-related: “originating from,” “of origin,” or “native of.” It is formed from the noun származás (origin, provenance) plus the suffix -ú/-ű to create a descriptor that denotes the possession of a certain origin. The word is typically used with a following noun indicating the origin, for example: magyar származású ember (a person of Hungarian origin), svéd származású zenész (a musician of Swedish origin).

Usage and nuance: származású expresses heritage or lineage rather than current citizenship. It is commonly applied to people to indicate ethnic, regional, or national origin, often in formal or semi-formal contexts, such as media descriptions, demographic data, or personal introductions. It is usually paired with a demonym or place-name, as in francia származású sportoló (a French-origin athlete) or német származású család (a family of German origin). The term is primarily used for people, though in some contexts it can refer to provenance in a broader sense. In many situations, synonymy exists with eredetű, though eredetű is more general and can describe both people and things.

Notes on grammar: származású does not change for gender; the surrounding noun or determiner marks number and agreement. The expression emphasizes origin or heritage and should not be interpreted as a statement about citizenship or legal status. Related concepts include származás (origin), eredet (origin), and various nationality or ethnicity descriptors.
