Ausgefaltet

Ausgefaltet is a German word that translates to "unfolded" or "spread out" in English. It describes a state of being extended, no longer compact or folded. The term can be applied to a variety of objects and situations. For instance, a piece of paper that has been folded and then smoothed out is ausgefaltet. Similarly, a map that has been neatly creased and is now laid flat for use is also ausgefaltet.

Beyond physical objects, ausgefaltet can also describe a more abstract or conceptual unfolding. It can refer to the development or elaboration of an idea, a plan, or a story. If someone presents a complex concept in a clear and detailed manner, one might say the idea has been "ausgefaltet." In a narrative context, a plot that gradually reveals its complexities and twists can be described as unfolding or ausgefaltet. The word carries a sense of expansion, revelation, and becoming more accessible or visible. It implies a transition from a contained or hidden state to one of openness and clarity.
