bottenkanten

Bottenkanten is a Swedish term that generally refers to the underside or bottom edge of something. The precise meaning can vary depending on the context.

In the context of clothing, bottenkanten might describe the hem of a garment, such as the bottom edge of a skirt, trousers, or a shirt. It is the finished edge that prevents the fabric from fraying.

When discussing furniture or structures, bottenkanten can indicate the lowest part of the base or a foundational edge. For example, it could refer to the bottom edge of a table leg or the lower rim of a cabinet.

In a more abstract sense, bottenkanten might be used figuratively to describe the lowest point or the absolute bottom of a situation, though this is less common than its literal meanings.

The term is derived from the Swedish words "botten" meaning bottom and "kant" meaning edge or side. It is a straightforward descriptive term used in everyday Swedish language.
