einzählig

Einzihlig is a German adjective that translates to "single-part," "unitary," or "unsegmented." It is used to describe something that is composed of a single unit or component, rather than being made up of multiple distinct parts. The term can be applied in various contexts, from everyday language to more technical or scientific fields.

In a general sense, einzihlig might describe an object that is not assembled from smaller pieces, such as a solid block of wood or a seamless piece of fabric. It implies a lack of joints, divisions, or separate elements.

In more specialized domains, the meaning can become more precise. For instance, in biology, a cell or organism described as einzihlig would be unicellular, meaning it consists of only one cell. In mathematics or logic, a concept or set might be considered einzihlig if it represents a single, indivisible entity or element. Similarly, in engineering or physics, a structure or system could be referred to as einzihlig if it is a monolithic construction without internal articulation or multiple moving parts. The antonym would typically be "mehrteilig" (multi-part) or "zusammengesetzt" (composed/assembled).
