PINIONED Meaning and
Definition
-
Pinioned is an adjective that describes something or someone being restrained or immobilized, specifically by having their arms or wings bound or trapped. The term is commonly used to depict a state of confinement or restriction, particularly when referring to the limbs of an individual or the wings of a bird.
In a literal sense, when someone's arms are pinioned, it means that their arms are tied or bound together, preventing them from moving or using them freely. Similarly, when applied to birds, it suggests that their wings have been securely confined, rendering them incapable of flight or movement.
Figuratively, pinioned can also be used to describe a person who feels trapped, helpless, or unable to take action due to external circumstances or forces beyond their control. It conveys a sense of being immobilized or emotionally restricted, as if being held captive by their own circumstances or other external factors.
Overall, pinioned carries the connotation of restriction, restraint, or captivity, whether it be in a physical, literal sense or a metaphorical, figurative context. The word is often employed to emphasize the deprivation of freedom, movement, or agency, highlighting a state of being trapped or bound.
