FOLDED Meaning and
Definition
-
Folded is the past participle of the verb "fold." The word "fold," in its most basic sense, means to bend or crease something, typically a flexible material, such as paper, cloth, or a sheet. When an object is folded, it is therefore manipulated in such a way that it is doubled over onto itself or brought into a compact form by bending it at one or more points.
"Folded" can also refer to the state or condition of an object after it has been subjected to this folding action. In this sense, folded means that the object has been bent, pressed, or manipulated in a manner that reduces its size or alters its shape. For example, a folded map is a map that has been creased or compressed into a smaller, more convenient size for storage or transportation.
Furthermore, folded can also be used metaphorically to describe an action or event that is characterized by secrecy, concealment, or a deliberate closing off of information or details. For instance, a folded document might signify confidential or restricted content, emphasizing the need to keep the contents hidden.
In summary, folded essentially denotes the act of bending or creasing something, the resulting state or condition of the object after this manipulation, as well as metaphorical connotations related to secrecy or concealment.
