wezenlijkwezenlijk
wezenlijkwezenlijk is a Dutch neologism formed by reduplication ofwezenlijk, the adjective meaning essential or substantive. The term is used to denote an intensified sense of essentiality, or to signal a meta-level inquiry into what constitutes an essence. In practice, wezenlijkwezenlijk appears in theoretical discussions on essentialism and ontology to indicate that a property or feature is not merely essential but may be central to the very identity of a thing.
Origin and etymology: It combines wezenlijk with reduplication for emphasis; it is not a standard dictionary
Usage: The term is primarily found in philosophical or theoretical texts, and occasionally in literary analysis
Reception: Scholars generally treat it as a rhetorical device or a thought experiment rather than a formal
