MANGLING Meaning and Definition

  1. Mangling refers to the act or process of severely damaging, distorting, or altering the form or structure of something, typically resulting in its disfigurement or deformation. The term is commonly associated with physical objects, documents, or written texts that have been subjected to intentional or accidental manipulation, rendering them in a state of disarray or confusion.

    In the context of physical objects, mangling often involves breaking, crushing, bending, or twisting them beyond their original shape or intended function. This can occur due to accidents, such as in a car crash where the vehicle's metal frame is mangled, or deliberate destruction, such as when machinery or equipment is dismantled or deformed.

    Mangling can also pertain to written or printed documents that have been altered in some way, either intentionally or unintentionally. It may involve misinterpreting, distorting, or corrupting the text, making it unreadable, confusing, or misleading. This can be done purposely to change or conceal information, as in censoring or redacting sensitive content, or it can be the result of an error or mishap, such as a printing or copying mistake.

    In summary, mangling encompasses the act of seriously damaging or distorting the physical appearance or content of an object, document, or text, resulting in its disfigurement, disarray, or deformity.
