Etymology 1

kor (“age”) +? -i (adjective-forming suffix)

Etymology 2

kora (“…’s age, the age of…”) +? -i (adjective-forming suffix), omitting -a.

Adjective

kori (not comparable)

1. of or from the era or period of …… (following a noun)

Usage notes

It is one of the few cases in Hungarian orthography when the deletion of the possessive suffix does not entail writing the resulting phrase in solid (in one word, as a compound) as a result of elision, as opposed to the regular case when e.g. the deletion of -e in [az] ablak üvege (“[the] pane of [the] window”) results in ablaküveg (“windowpane”). These exceptions involve the adjective-forming suffix -i and they include (eleje ?) eleji, (kora ?) kori (or regular korabeli), (vége ?) végi, as well as geographical adjectives like (foka ?) foki, (környéke ?) környéki, (köze ?) közi, (melléke ?) melléki, (mente ?) menti, and (vidéke ?) vidéki. Most of these words may also have a meaning without an implicit possessive sense.
