blokör

Blokör is a term used in Turkish and in some multilingual contexts to refer to something or someone that blocks. The word is formed from blok- meaning “block” and the agentive suffix -ör, yielding a noun that can describe a blocker or blocking device.

In Turkish usage, blokör can denote both a person who blocks and a device that prevents passage or action. In sports, a blokör is a player who blocks an opponent’s move or a shot, such as in basketball or handball. In mechanical and industrial contexts, a blokör can refer to a component that halts movement or blocks a mechanism, such as a stopper or barrier used in machinery or safety systems.

In information technology and digital media, blokör is used in discussions about blocking functionalities. It can describe software tools that prevent certain content or actions, including ad blockers or privacy blockers. While many Turkish speakers use more descriptive terms in everyday speech, blokör appears in technical discussions and product naming within Turkish-language contexts.

Etymology and relationship to other terms: The word is likely a Turkish adaptation of foreign terms such as the French bloqueur or the Dutch blokkeerder, shaped to fit Turkish phonology with the suffix -ör. Its meaning is therefore context-dependent, with common threads across sports, engineering, and computing.
