Meaning of "jointed" in English

The term "jointed" refers to something that is made up of components that are connected together, often allowing movement at the intersections. This can relate to both living organisms, like the jointed limbs of animals, and to mechanical constructions, such as a jointed arm of a crane. The characteristic feature of being jointed is the presence of joints which provide flexibility, adaptability, or articulation between two or more parts. This construct is crucial for the functioning and mobility in both biological and mechanical systems.

Meaning of "coudé" in French

The French word "coudé" translates to "elbowed" or "bent" in English, suggesting a shape or structure resembling an elbow.

In many technical and mechanical contexts, "coudé" signifies an adaptation for a change in direction or for making connections between parts. The concept of "coudé" is thus associated with the functionality and versatility within different structural frameworks.
