kapsli

Kapsli is a Turkish-language adjective that denotes something having a capsule or being encapsulated. It is formed from the noun kapsül (capsule) with an adjectival suffix and is used to describe substances, materials, or delivery systems that are enclosed in or composed of capsules. In standard Turkish, the more common orthography for this meaning is kapsüllü; kapsli may appear as a nonstandard variant, a typographical simplification, or in transliteration contexts where diacritics are omitted.

In practice, kapsli appears primarily in technical or scientific writing to indicate encapsulation. It can be found in discussions of pharmaceutical formulations, agricultural products, or material sciences where particles or active ingredients are enclosed within a capsule. More widely used compound forms include mikro kapsüllü or mikroenkapsüllü terms (microencapsulated) and kapsüllü ilaçlar (capsulated drugs). The term thus functions as a descriptive descriptor rather than a standalone product name.

Etymologically, kapsül derives from the French capsule or the Latin capsula, with the Turkish suffix -lü or -lü/-lı forming adjectives meaning “having” or “characterized by.” The form kapsli represents a variant spelling that may occur in texts lacking diacritics or in non-Turkish contexts, rather than a standardized Turkish term.
