editEtymology 1
editLexicalization of el-, ele- (stem variants of elő-) + -n (locative suffix). Since the language reform, it is also used as a verbal prefix (see ellen-). As the first part of compound words it is mostly patterned after Latin contra (“against”) and German gegen (“against”).[1]
Postposition
editellen
Usage notes
editThis term may also be part of the split form of a verb prefixed with ellen-, occurring when the main verb does not follow the prefix directly. It can be interpreted only with the related verb form, irrespective of its position in the sentence, e.g. meg tudták volna nézni (“they could have seen it”, from megnéz). For verbs with this prefix, see ellen-; for an overview, Appendix:Hungarian verbal prefixes.
