NARROWING Meaning and
Definition
-
Narrowing refers to the process of becoming or making something narrower, or of reducing the range or scope of something. It is a verb that can be used both literally and figuratively.
In its literal sense, narrowing pertains to physically making something slimmer or more constricted in width or breadth. This could involve compressing or reducing the overall dimensions of an object or space. For example, a road could undergo a narrowing process to create a narrower lane by altering its physical structure.
In a figurative sense, narrowing implies the act of decreasing the extent, variety, or specificity of something. This could involve the process of focusing or limiting the range of options, possibilities, or opinions. For instance, narrowing the scope of a research project involves refining the topic to a specific area of study or excluding certain variables or aspects.
Furthermore, the term narrowing can also refer to a gradual or incremental decrease or reduction in some aspect or concept. This could point to a decline in value, quantity, or significance. For instance, narrowing profits denote a decrease in the amount of money earned over a period of time.
Overall, narrowing encompasses the action of making something narrower or more restricted, whether in a literal or figurative sense, and often implies a reduction or decrease in some aspect or dimension.
