"lóvá tesz" meaning in Hungarian

See lóvá tesz in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: [ˈloːvaːtɛs]
Etymology: ló (“horse”) + -vá (“into”) + tesz (“to make, to turn into”). The expression is connected to witchcraft. Long ago, popular superstition held that witches could not only ride broomsticks or fireplace pokers, but they could also turn their victims into horses and fly on them to their orgies. People thought that those who were turned into horses, were also tortured. Later, the meaning of "to torture" was replaced by "to trifle with", "to toy with", finally into the current "to deceive".
