fold-over

Crease upon itself

A fold-over is something that folds over itself—a flap, a cover, or a design element that doubles back: a fold-over wallet, a fold-over clutch.

The term describes the action or the resulting feature.

In cooking, a fold-over is a filled pastry or tortilla folded in half: Make a quick fold-over with leftover chicken.
