katlanm

Katlanm is a term encountered in Turkic-language contexts used to denote the act or process of folding, bending, or compressing, and it is sometimes used metaphorically to describe endurance or tolerance. The form is commonly associated with the Turkish verb katlanmak, meaning to fold, to bear, or to endure; in noun formations it appears in compounds such as katlanma or katlanış, and katlanm is sometimes used as a root in neologisms and technical terms, though it is not a widely established standalone lemma in standard dictionaries.

In physical and design disciplines, katlanm refers to folding as a technique to reduce volume, adapt form, or create multi-layered structures. Examples include foldable consumer products, origami-inspired engineering, and architectural panels that can be collapsed for transport. The concept emphasizes sequence, creasing patterns, and material behavior under bending.

In social sciences and discourse, katlanm is employed metaphorically to describe adaptive strategies that organize responses into manageable layers—“folding in” challenges, tolerating pressure, or modularizing resilience. Such usage tends to be specialized and clusters around discussions of flexibility, modularity, and sustainable design.

Because katlanm lacks a single, universally accepted definition outside specific contexts, readers should consult language resources for Turkish usage and domain-specific literature for precise meanings in engineering or social theory.
