FRACTURE Meaning and Definition

  1. Fracture is a noun that refers to the act or process of breaking or cracking something, especially a solid material, into two or more pieces. It can also be used as a verb to describe the action of breaking or cracking something.

    As a noun, fracture signifies a physical break or separation in the structure of an object or material, usually due to a forceful impact, stress, or pressure. This can occur in various objects, such as bones, rocks, crystals, or structures made of glass, ceramic, or metal. Fractures are often categorized based on their characteristics, such as transverse fractures that occur perpendicular to the long axis of an object, or oblique fractures that happen at an angle.

    When used as a verb, fracture involves the process of causing a break or crack in a solid material. This can be intentional or unintentional, and may involve applying pressure, force, or impact to the object. Fracturing can result in both complete or partial separation of the material.

    In a broader sense, fracture can also be used metaphorically to describe the division or disruption in relationships, communities, or systems. It reflects a state of fragmentation or disunity, where unity or integrity has been compromised or broken.
