fene
Hungarian
Etymology
From the Hungarian verb fen (“to hone, sharpen”) + -e (present-participle suffix). For the suffix, compare fürge, lenge. Originally, it was used as an adjective for infuriated, ready-to-attack wild animals (e.g. fene farkas (“enraged wolf”)), later it became a noun with the same sense which is now obsolete.[1]
