Lõikekoha

Lõikekoha is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun lõikekoht, a compound of lõik (cut, section) and koht (place). It refers to the place where a cut or division has been made or will be made. The term is used across several fields, and its exact meaning depends on the context.

In medicine and surgery, lõikekoha denotes the incision site on a patient—the location where tissue is cut during a procedure or where a wound has occurred. In health care, careful documentation of the lõikekoha helps describe the procedure and monitor recovery.

In woodworking and construction, lõikekoha can mean the point where material is cut, such as the end of a sawn piece or the spot where a trench, notch, or other cut is made. The term emphasizes the location of the cut within a larger workpiece or structure.

In film, video, and audio editing, lõikekoha is used to describe the cut point—the moment or frame where one shot ends and the next begins. Editors may note the lõikekoha to plan transitions or synchronize audio and visual elements.

Etymology and usage notes: lõikekoha appears in phrases describing the site or location of a cut. The base form is lõikekoht; lõikekoha is its genitive singular, used to indicate possession or relation to the cut site in a sentence.
