crystallinity
In materials science, this term describes a quantitative measure of the ordered regions within a polymer or solid, contrasting with the amorphous regions. It is a technical term used primarily in chemistry and physics to describe structural regularity.
When used metaphorically to describe thought or speech, the word suggests a high degree of precision and clarity. It implies that an idea has been refined from a vague state into a sharp, well-defined structure, similar to how a liquid becomes a crystal.
Meanings
The state or quality of being crystalline, specifically referring to the degree of structural order in a solid material.
Examples
