Etusosa

Etusosa is a Finnish noun meaning the front part or forepart of something. The word is formed from etu-, meaning front, and osa, meaning part, and it is used primarily in technical or descriptive Finnish to designate the forward portion of an object.

Usage of etusosa appears in contexts such as engineering, manufacturing, and design. In a technical description, the etusosa may be specified separately from the rear section to describe features like mounting points, weight distribution, or accessibility. In vehicles, the etusosa often refers to the front end, including elements such as the cab, hood, and bumper. In architecture or furniture, it can denote the forward-most or visible façade elements, distinguishing them from rear or internal parts.

The term is less common in everyday conversation, where more general terms such as etupuoli (front side) or etukansi (front cover) are typically used. Etusosa tends to appear in manuals, engineering drawings, product specifications, and other technical writing.

Translations and equivalents can vary by domain. In English, etusosa is commonly rendered as front part, forepart, or front end, depending on the object and context. See also: etupuoli, etukansi, etusivu, takapaneeli.
