Tjugosidor

Tjugosidor is an obscure term with no widely recognized definition in English-language reference works. The word does not appear as a standard term in major dictionaries or encyclopedias, and its meaning is not fixed across sources.

Most apparent etymology points to a Scandinavian origin: tjugo means twenty, and sidor means sides or pages. As a result, the compound could be interpreted literally as "twenty sides" or "twenty pages." However, there is no accepted usage or formal definition in Swedish or other languages.

Because there is no canonical meaning, the term is typically encountered only as a neologism or in fictional contexts. In such cases, writers may use tjugosidor to describe a conceptual object, artifact, or device that has twenty facets or surfaces, or to denote a document or publication comprising twenty pages. These interpretations are not standardized and should be treated as speculative.

Scholarly treatment of tjugosidor is limited; it should be considered a lexical curiosity or a placeholder term rather than a defined concept. If a specific context (a literary work, a game, a language project) is intended, that context should be consulted for the authoritative meaning.
