Flís

Flís refers to a small, sharp fragment of material, typically glass, metal, or wood. These fragments can result from breakage, cutting, or wear and tear of larger objects. Flís can be a hazard, particularly if they are sharp enough to penetrate the skin, causing cuts or splinters. They are often microscopic or very small, making them difficult to see with the naked eye.

The term "flís" is commonly used in contexts where safety is a concern, such as in workshops, construction sites, or even around the home where glass objects might break. When dealing with flís, it is important to exercise caution to avoid injury. If a flís becomes embedded in the skin, it may require removal to prevent infection or further discomfort.

In some specialized fields, the term might also be used to describe a specific type of material structure, though its primary and most common meaning relates to small, sharp fragments. The properties of a flís, such as its size, sharpness, and material composition, determine the potential risk it poses.
