Etymology edit

From visel (to bear, to carry) +‎ -tetik (passive-forming suffix). Its literal sense is obsolete. The present-day sense was influenced by the phrase valahogyan viseli magát (to behave somehow, literally to bear oneself in some way).[1] As a result, it might be called a deponent verb (formally passive; in reality, active).

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): [ˈviʃɛltɛtik]
  • Hyphenation: vi‧sel‧te‧tik
