From emel (“to lift, to raise”) + -et (noun-forming suffix, expressing the result of the action).
emelet (plural emeletek)
In keeping with the word's derivation ("something lifted "), usage is like the British convention as opposed to the American. That is, első emelet (“first floor”) is not the ground floor but the first one above ground. The American-usage first floor (UK: ground floor) is földszint (literally “ground level”).
