Çekilme

Çekilme is a Turkish noun formed from the verb çekmek, meaning to pull, draw, or retract. It denotes the act or result of pulling toward oneself or moving away, and it is used in several related senses depending on context.

In a physical sense, çekilme refers to the act of drawing back or retracting something, such as a line, rope, or other object being pulled. It can also describe movement away from a location or front.

In military and political contexts, çekilme commonly means retreat or withdrawal from a position, front, or agreement. It can describe a strategic pullback, partial or full, often under orders or as part of a larger negotiation.

Figuratively, çekilme is used for retracting a statement, stance, or claim. A person or organization may undergo a çekilme of opinion or position, signaling a shift or reversal.

In medical or everyday language, çekilme can be used to indicate withdrawal from a substance or habit, sometimes in the sense of withdrawal symptoms when stopping use, though more field-specific terms may be preferred.

Etymology and related terms: çekilme derives from çekmek (to pull or draw) with the -il- and -me suffixes to form a noun. Related words include çekmek (to pull), geri çekilmek (to withdraw or retreat), and çekiş (drawing or pulling action in some contexts).
