Dökülüm

Dökülüm is a Turkish word that broadly translates to "shedding," "loss," or "casting off." Its specific meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used. In a biological sense, dökülüm often refers to the natural shedding of hair, feathers, or skin by animals. For example, cats and dogs experience dökülüm as part of their normal coat cycle, losing old or damaged hair to make way for new growth. Similarly, birds undergo dökülüm of their feathers, typically seasonally, to maintain their plumage.

Beyond biological shedding, dökülüm can also describe the loss of other materials. In geology, it might refer to the erosion or disintegration of rock formations. In manufacturing, it could describe the shedding of waste material during a production process. Figuratively, the term can be used to express the relinquishing or discarding of something, such as shedding old habits or letting go of past mistakes. The common thread across these meanings is a process of loss or separation from an original whole.
