fluting
This term describes a specific type of linear ornamentation characterized by parallel grooves. In architecture, it is a classical detail used to create a sense of verticality and lightness in heavy stone columns, often associated with Greek and Roman styles.
When applied to textiles or metalwork, the term refers to a rhythmic, corrugated texture. It is distinct from general pleating in that it typically implies a more structured, repetitive, and often cylindrical or rounded ridge effect rather than flat folds.
