perenos

Perenos is a term with multiple uses, most commonly as a transliteration of the Cyrillic noun перенос. In Russian and Ukrainian, перенóс (perenos) carries meanings such as transfer, movement, or carrying; it appears in phrases describing the act of moving something from one place to another, the layout of text (word wrap or line breaks), and the transmission or spread of features or diseases in a medical or biological context. The word derives from the verb нести (to carry) and the affix -нос, forming a general noun for carrying or bearing.

In English-language usage, perenos is not a standard word; when encountered, it is usually as a loanword, a transliteration in scholarly texts, or as a proper noun (for example, a surname, a company name, or a project title). In technical writing, the concept of transfer or movement is instead expressed with native terms such as transfer, transmission, or line wrapping, depending on the domain.

Because the term spans languages and disciplines, its precise meaning is context-dependent. When encountered in literature or technical material, readers should identify the surrounding context to determine whether it refers to physical transfer, the transfer of data or traits, or typographic line breaking.
