单词 folding door
释义

folding doorn.

Brit. /ˌfəʊldɪŋ ˈdɔː/, /ˈfəʊldɪŋ dɔː/, U.S. /ˌfoʊldɪŋ ˈdɔr/, /ˈfoʊldɪŋ ˌdɔr/
Etymology: < folding adj. + door n.
A door consisting of two parts hung on opposite jambs, so that their edges come into contact when the door is closed. Now usually plural in same sense. In the modern sense of the adjective the name is more appropriate when, as is often the case, each of the parts of the door consists of two or more leaves, hinged so as to fold up when the door is open. ‘Folding doors’ are often used to form a removable partition between two adjacent rooms; hence the term is sometimes loosely applied to a partition used for the same purpose, but opened by lateral sliding of its parts.
