aplainar

Aplainar is a term used in speculative linguistics and world-building to denote the action of flattening a surface or data representation to a plane. The word is constructed as an infinitive verb ending in -ar, with a root reminiscent of plain or plane.

Etymology: Aplainar is a neologism formed from plain/plane plus the common infinitive suffix -ar. It is used in fictional or hypothetical contexts to model a systematic verb for surface-geometric operations.

Usage: In fiction and speculative discussions, aplainar describes flattening a terrain, data set, or feature to a plane, removing elevation variation or complexity. It can be literal (physical flattening) or figurative (simplifying a model or map).

In contexts outside world-building, aplainar is not part of established technical vocabulary. Related terms include aplanar (real-world form in some languages), plane, planar, and flattening.
