õhenemist

õhenemist is an Estonian word that translates to thinning or rarefaction. It is a general term used in various contexts to describe a process where something becomes less dense, less concentrated, or less thick.

In physics, õhenemist can refer to the decrease in the density of a substance, such as the thinning of air at higher altitudes. It can also describe the process of a fluid becoming less viscous or its molecules spreading further apart.

In biology and medicine, õhenemist might be used to describe the thinning of hair, skin, or other tissues. For example, a condition causing hair õhenemist would be hair thinning.

In materials science, õhenemist can refer to the reduction in the thickness of a material, often through processes like machining, grinding, or chemical etching.

The specific meaning of õhenemist depends heavily on the context in which it is used. It generally implies a reduction in substance, density, or thickness, leading to a state of being less substantial than before. The opposite of õhenemist would be thickening or densification.
