Ungarisch vizsga, vizsgál: Versuch einer slawischen Etymologie
Hungarian vizsga, vizsgál: Attempt at a Slavic Etymology.
The article explains Hungarian vizsgál ‘to analyze, to examine’ (> Hungarian vizsga ‘inquiring; researching; analysis, study; discussion; experiment; examination’, derived in the period of Hungarian language renewal) as a derivative of an unattested *vizsga ‘testing, trial (of the quality of precious metals through fire)’ < Slavic *vyžega/*vyžьga/*vyžiga ‘burning; treatment with fire, etc.’ (~ Slavic *vy-žegti, iterative *vy-žigati ‘to burn [transitive]’ < Common Slavic *žegti ‘id.’). For the supposed Slavic etymon, cf. Russian výžega, výžiga ‘pure silver which remains after the burning of silver threads’; for the respective extra-linguistic context of ‘trial, examination’, cf. English test, German Feuerprobe.
