Pyyhkäisyliike

Pyyhkäisyliike refers to a sweeping motion or movement, commonly used in various contexts. In physics, it can describe the motion of an object across a surface or through a medium, such as the path of a broom or the movement of a fluid. The concept is also relevant in geometry, where it can describe the area traced by a line segment as it moves. In computing, a pyyhkäisyliike might refer to the action of a cursor or a pointer moving across a screen, or the process of clearing data from a memory location.

The term is also used metaphorically to describe a rapid or decisive action that affects a large area or a significant number of things. For example, a political reform might be described as a pyyhkäisyliike if it quickly changes many established practices. In everyday language, it can simply mean a quick, broad stroke or gesture, like wiping a surface clean with a cloth. The specific meaning is often determined by the context in which the term is used, but the core idea of a broad, encompassing movement remains consistent.
