Hungarian word of the day!

The Hungarian language is fantastic in many ways. We have strange grammar rules, expressions, sayings and also words. There are certain words that are similar in many languages, but different in Hungarian. Some are logical, while some might seem overcomplicated…What do you think about the following? 😀

As Daily magyar explains:

rendőrség – police

rend – order
őr
1) guard, watchman, keeper
2) guardian, protector
a rend őre – the guard of the order
rendőr – policeman
(Literally::: the guard of the order; orderkeeper)
rendőrség – police

rendfenntartó – someone whose job is to take care of that the people will not make something against the order (he/she is not a police, nor a soldier, but something between)
