tárgyilagos

Tárgyilagos is a Hungarian adjective meaning "murderous" or "homicidal," used to describe acts or people associated with killing. In standard contemporary Hungarian the term is rare and often considered archaic or literary; everyday language tends to rely on gyilkos (murderer), gyilkosság (murder), or more specific phrases such as a szándék gyilkosságra irányuló kifejezés.

The word tends to appear in historical, literary, or formal legal contexts where a heightened or stylistic tone is desired. It is not part of common contemporary vocabulary in casual speech, and when used it can signal a more emphatic or condemnatory register. Because it is not broadly attested in modern dictionaries, writers typically prefer clearer terms like gyilkos vagy gyilkosság, depending on whether they refer to a person or an act.

Etymology for tárgyilagos is not clearly documented in standard references, and its precise origins are uncertain. Some discussions treat it as a somewhat opaque or literary formation, rather than a straightforward, widely accepted compound. As such, the term is best understood as a stylistic or historical variant rather than a regularly used part of everyday Hungarian.

See also: gyilkos, gyilkosság, halál, erőszak. In precise legal or forensic Hungarian, phrases such as gyilosságra irányuló szándék are preferred to denote murderous intent, rather than relying on the less common adjective tárgyilagos.
