FURLS Meaning and
Definition
-
Furls is a verb that refers to the action of rolling or folding something, typically fabric or a flag, into a neat and compact form. Specifically, it involves gathering and twisting the material in order to create a small, cylindrical shape. This process is often performed in order to secure or store the item more efficiently, preventing it from becoming tangled or damaged.
The act of furling is commonly seen in nautical settings, particularly with sails on a boat. When a sail is no longer in use, it is furlled by winding it up tightly around a central stave or spar, ensuring it remains secure and protected from the elements. The opposite action, unfurling, involves the process of unrolling or unfolding the material, effectively restoring it to its original shape and position.
In addition to its use in sailing, furling can also be applied to other contexts. For example, flags are often furled when they are not being displayed, such as during inclement weather or at the end of the day. Similarly, individuals may furl fabric or small tents when packing up camping gear for easy transport and storage.
Overall, the term "furls" encompasses the action of carefully wrapping or folding objects to create an organized and compact shape, facilitating efficient storage and preventing damage.
