Orukkam

Orukkam (or ഉരുക്കം in Malayalam script) is a Malayalam word that generally translates to "preparation," "readiness," or "melting." The specific meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used.

In the context of preparing for an event, task, or situation, orukkam signifies the act of making necessary arrangements and getting ready. This could involve gathering materials, planning a course of action, or training oneself for a specific purpose.

When referring to metals or materials, orukkam can also denote the process of melting, particularly from a solid to a liquid state due to heat.

Figuratively, orukkam can sometimes imply a state of being emotionally or mentally prepared, similar to "bracing oneself" for something. The nuance depends heavily on the accompanying words and the overall situation described.
