Északdélnyugati

Északdélnyugati is a Hungarian adjective and adverb meaning "north-southwest". It describes a direction that is a combination of north, south, and west. This directional term is used to indicate a path, location, or movement that has components in all three of these cardinal directions.

For instance, if someone is traveling in an északdélnyugati direction, they are moving in a way that takes them both north and west, but also has a southerly component. This can occur in geographical contexts where a route might be winding or follow terrain that necessitates such a complex bearing. It is not a primary cardinal direction, but rather a composite one.

The term is relatively uncommon in everyday language, as more specific directional terms are usually employed to describe simpler movements. However, it can be useful in precise descriptions of navigation, cartography, or when detailing complex trajectories in fields like physics or engineering. Its meaning is derived directly from the combination of the Hungarian words for north (észak), south (dél), and west (nyugat), with the suffix indicating a combined or derivative direction.
