Folikülden

Folikülden is the ablative singular form of the Turkish noun folikül, meaning “from the follicle.” It is used to indicate origin or source in Turkish, and appears in medical, biological, and descriptive contexts where a follicle is the reference point—whether a hair follicle or an ovarian follicle.

Etymology and form: Folikül derives from Latin folliculus, likely via French follicule, and entered Turkish with the characteristic vowel harmony pattern of Turkish suffixes. The ablative suffix in Turkish is -den or -dan, chosen to harmonize with the preceding vowel; since folikül ends with ü, the correct form is folikülden. The plural ablative form is foliküllerden (“from the follicles”).

Usage: In Turkish, folikülden answers questions of origin or source. Examples: “Bu madde folikülden elde edilmiştir” (This substance was obtained from the follicle) and “folikülden alınan hücreler incelendi” (cells taken from the follicle were examined). The term is commonly found in medical and biological descriptions, lab reports, and educational materials.

Related forms: The base noun is folikül, with plural foliküller. The ablative plural form is foliküllerden. Other related terms include expressions that specify the type of follicle (hair follicle, ovarian follicle) through context rather than a distinct word.
