The word "distend" is often employed in literature to vividly illustrate the stretching or expansion of a physical space or metaphorical concept. For instance, in "A Study in Scarlet" by Arthur Conan Doyle, the term is used to underscore that a small room's boundaries are fixed and cannot expand indefinitely, as if one were mistakenly assuming the walls to be elastic [1]. This usage not only brings a tangible quality to the setting but also hints at the limits inherent in structures or ideas, anchoring the reader's understanding in both physical reality and metaphorical depth.
