Feltekeredést

Feltekeredést is a Hungarian term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily revolving around the idea of winding something up, rolling it up, or coiling it. The most common interpretation is the physical act of wrapping a material, such as thread, yarn, rope, or paper, around a core or into a compact form. This can be done manually or with the aid of a device.

In a broader sense, feltekeredést can also describe the process of something becoming coiled or spiraled, such as a spring or a snake coiling itself. It implies a transformation from a more linear or spread-out state to a more concentrated, circular, or helical arrangement.

The word is also used metaphorically. For example, it can describe the accumulation or buildup of something over time, like a debt or a problem. In this context, it suggests a process of growth and entrenchment, similar to how material winds tighter and tighter. The specific meaning often depends on the context in which the word is used, but the core idea of winding or coiling remains central.
