kiududeks

Kiududeks is an Estonian term used to denote the transformation of a material into fibrous form. It is a translative construction derived from kiud (fiber) combined with the suffix -udeks, which marks change of state and is commonly used with verbs such as muutuma (to become). The expression appears in scientific, engineering, and industrial contexts as well as in technical writing.

Etymology and grammar: Kiududeks combines kiud with the translative suffix -udeks. A typical sentence is Materjal muutub kiududeks, meaning “The material becomes fibers.”

Usage and contexts: The term is used in polymer processing, textile and paper manufacture, fiber-reinforced composites, and recycling processes where materials are converted to fibrous forms. It can also appear in descriptions of experiments where fibrous structures are produced from solutions, melts, or suspensions. See also kiud (fiber) and kiudude (fibers, genitive plural).
