körülvev

Körülvev is an obscure Hungarian neologism not widely recognized in standard dictionaries as of 2024. It denotes the act or result of surrounding or encircling a space, object, or group with a boundary, frame, or wrapping, and it can be used in physical, conceptual, or data-related contexts.

Etymology and form: The term blends the Hungarian prefix körül-, meaning around, with a nominal suffix intended to convey the sense of wrapping or weaving. It has appeared primarily in niche planning, design, and theoretical discussions rather than in everyday language.

Usage: In architecture and urban planning, körülvev can describe the construction of a continuous boundary—such as a wall, ring road, or belt of green space—around a core district to delineate space or provide a buffer. In information design, it may refer to enclosing a dataset or interface within a defined frame. In philosophy or literary analysis, körülvev can be used metaphorically to discuss social or cognitive encirclement.

Variants and morphology: Related forms include körülvevés (the act of surrounding) and körülvevő (encircling, wrap-around). Because it is still nonstandard, usage often depends on authorial preference and context.

See also: encirclement, perimeter, boundary, circumvallation.

Note: As an obscure term, it is not widely cited in official glossaries; readers should verify by consulting contemporary Hungarian design, linguistics, or urban-planning sources if encountered in texts.
