Gömülü

Gömülü is a Turkish adjective meaning embedded, implanted, or buried. It is used to describe something that belongs inside or is integrated into something else. The word is commonly formed from the verb gömmek (to bury, to place inside) and the participle suffix -ülü, yielding gömülü = having been buried or placed inside. In Turkish, adjectives formed in this way denote a state that results from an action.

In technology, gömülü is widely used in compound terms such as gömülü sistemler (embedded systems) and gömülü yazılım (embedded software). Gömülü sistemler are computing systems designed to perform dedicated functions within larger devices or environments, often with limited resources and real-time requirements. Examples include automotive control units, household appliances, and industrial equipment. Gömülü yazılım refers to the software that runs on these systems, optimized for constrained memory and processing power.

Beyond computing, gömülü may describe data or features that are concealed or integrated inside another medium, such as gömülü veriler (embedded data) within a file or interface, or data embedding techniques. The term is also used more figuratively to denote elements integrated into a larger context, such as a particular feature being part of a system or product.

Related terms include gömme (embedding) and gömülü as a general descriptive usage in Turkish. The word is common in technical literature, engineering manuals, and information technology discussions in Turkish.
