Concept in Definition ABC

Edge is understood to be the limit that an object or figure can have and that signals the end of its surface in relation to that of the external environment. The border is generally represented by a line (which can be straight, oblique, wavy, round, etc.) and which can also vary in thickness, length, color or layout. The main function or objective of an edge is, then, the marking of the space where the figure or object ends in question, although in some cases it can also serve as a container element of what remains inside the figure.

The term 'edge' can be applied in many different ways, both in phrases or expressions and with different more or less specific meanings. In this sense, one of the most common ways to use it is when referring to the boundary edge or border of a region. Here, an edge is something definitively and clearly marked, although some sections of the region may be more easily passable or traversable.

Territorial borders can be marked through some natural element (such as a mountain range, a

River, a sea or a Valley), as well as from artificial creations (routes, paths, artificial boundaries, etc.). In many cases, the establishment Territorial boundaries can lead to major conflicts between regions, nations, and countries.

The 'edge' can also be used to talk about situations of crisis when 'being on the edge' means being on the edge. This can be reproduced for example in medical spaces, as when it is said for example 'to be on the verge of catching a cold', in moments of danger, such as when it is claimed that someone is 'on the verge of being attacked', etc. In all these cases, the word edge represents being at the most extreme point of the situation, almost facing what it means to fall outside one's own space.
