utóda

Utóda is a Hungarian noun meaning offspring, descendant, or heir. It denotes a person or organism that comes after another in a lineage, including biological offspring and a rightful heir or successor to a title or estate. In everyday language, utóda is less common than utód, and is typically encountered in literary, historical, or formal contexts where posterity and lineage are emphasized. The term is versatile: in biology you may speak of the utóda of an animal or plant; in genealogy or law one might refer to an heir or successor as a utóda in a narrative sense. The concept highlights continuity of lineage across generations and is frequently used in discussions of family history, inheritance, or dynastic succession. While utóda carries a slightly archaic or literary resonance, it remains a legitimate term in Hungarian vocabulary for describing posterity.
