mátka
Hungarian
Etymology
Uncertain, perhaps a Slavic loanword, compare Slovak matka (“mother”), Russian ма́тка (mátka, “womb, female, queen bee”), from Proto-Slavic *mati (“mother”). However, the Hungarian word has never meant 'mother' and the Slavic words have never had the meaning of 'fiancée'. Originally, the Hungarian word was both male and female.
