Kaardiline

Kaardiline is a term that appears in certain historical contexts, particularly related to cartography and surveying. It generally refers to a map or a plan, often of a specific area of land. The term can also be associated with the process of creating such maps or plans, implying the act of charting or surveying. In some older documents, "kaardiline" might be used to describe a document that delineates boundaries, plots properties, or shows geographical features.

The etymology of "kaardiline" is likely derived from the word "kaart," which in several European languages, including Estonian and Finnish, means "map." The suffix "-line" suggests a connection or a representation of something. Therefore, "kaardiline" can be understood as something that is like a map or is represented on a map. Its usage has largely been superseded by more specific terms in modern cartographic and land management terminology. However, understanding its historical context can be helpful when interpreting older records or texts.
