Bordes

Bordes is the plural form of borde in Spanish, where it designates edges, borders, or margins. The singular borde refers to the boundary or rim of an object, such as the edge of a table, the margin of a page, or the edge of a map. The term is used in both everyday language and technical contexts to describe outer limits.

In mathematics, bordes is used in Spanish-language texts to denote the boundary of a set. The boundary consists of points approached by sequences from both the set and its complement and is a central concept in topology, relating to interior and exterior points.

In geography and cartography, bordes can describe the outer limits of a geographic area, such as the edges of a landform or the perimeter of a region. When referring to political divisions, the more common terms are frontera or límite, while bordes may appear in descriptions of map edges or boundary outlines.

Bordes also exists as a surname in French- and Spanish-speaking communities. It appears in historical and contemporary records without implying any particular meaning beyond its function as a family name.
