Odak
Odak is a term commonly used in Turkish to mean focus or focal point. In optics and photography, odak noktası denotes the point where light rays converge and the image becomes sharp, while odak uzaklığı refers to the focal length, a measure of lens magnification and field of view. The verb odaklanmak means to focus one’s attention or to concentrate, and odaklı, meaning focused or targeted, can describe devices, research, or strategies designed around a central aim. In broader Turkish usage, odak is used metaphorically to indicate emphasis or centrality, such as placing emphasis on a particular issue or goal.
As a proper noun, Odak can appear as a surname in Turkish-speaking communities and in diaspora contexts,
