võrgust

Võrgust is the elative singular form of the Estonian noun võrk, meaning network or net. It expresses movement from inside a network or from a context that can be described as a network, and can refer to both physical nets and abstract or social networks. The elative case answers the question “where from?” and is used with verbs that denote leaving, origin, or source.

Etymology and related forms: Võrgust is formed by taking the stem võrk and adding the elative suffix -st. The word belongs to the same morphological family as võrk (net, network) and related terms such as võrgustik, which denotes a network or system of interconnected elements. The elative form is a standard part of Estonian case endings and appears in various contexts where the source or starting point is emphasized.

Usage and examples: In sentences, võrgust can indicate departure from a network or net-like structure. For example, ta pääses võrgust would translate roughly as “he/she escaped from the net/network.” The form can be used in both literal and figurative senses, including discussions of social networks, information networks, or other interconnected systems.

Note: Võrgust is a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept; its meaning is derived from the context in which it is used, specifying origin or exit from a network or network-like structure.
