aneks

Aneks is a term used in several languages to denote something that is attached or added to another thing. It is often used to describe an annex or annexation depending on the context, and its precise meaning can vary by discipline and country.

In architecture, an aneks refers to an annex, an auxiliary building or extension that is connected to a main structure. Such additions are common in schools, offices, and residential complexes, where the annex provides additional space while remaining part of the same property.

In documentation and law, aneks (or annex) denotes supplementary material attached to a document, contract, report, or treaty. Annexes typically contain data, specifications, maps, or legal details that complement but are separate from the main text. In international relations and law, annexation is the act of incorporating a territory into a state, a use of the term that appears in various languages as an equivalent of annex or annexation.

Etymologically, aneks derives from Latin annexus and is cognate with the English word annex and the French annexe. In several languages, including Turkish and Polish, the form aneks is used in everyday writing to mean either an annex or annexation, depending on the context. The term is thus a versatile label for attachments, additions, or incorporations in different domains.
