Odstranitelnost

Odstranitelnost is a Czech noun describing the property of being removable. It is used across disciplines to express how easily an element, component, or feature can be taken away or detached, and it can also refer to the possibility of removing an object from a given context without causing damage.

In mathematics, removability refers to the ability to extend a function to a point or to remove a singularity or discontinuity. A point is a removable singularity of a complex function if the function is analytic in a punctured neighborhood around the point and bounded near it, allowing an analytic extension to the point. In real analysis, a discontinuity is removable when the function’s limit exists and can be assigned a finite value to make the function continuous. These concepts are fundamental in complex analysis and calculus.

In engineering and design, odstranitelnost is closely linked to disassembly and maintenance. Products designed for disassembly aim to minimize the effort, tools, and time required to remove components for repair, replacement, or recycling. This consideration supports serviceability, repairability, and environmental goals by enabling easier end-of-life separation of materials and parts.

In everyday use, the term can describe detachable or replaceable parts and systems, such as removable panels, lids, or media. Overall, odstranitelnost highlights the practical and theoretical importance of the ability to remove elements safely, efficiently, and with minimal unintended consequences.
