Hungarian

Etymology

Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries. Patterned after verb pairs suffixed with -ul and -ít such as tanul (to learn) - tanít (to teach), the neologists coined it from the root of virul + -ít.[1] The slang meaning is attestable from at least the late 1980s.
