RECLINED Meaning and Definition

  1. Reclined is an adjective that describes the position or posture of someone or something leaning or resting in a backward position. It is often used to describe the act of lying down or relaxing in a comfortable, inclined position.

    When a person is reclined, their body is typically in a position where they are supported by a surface, typically a chair, couch, or bed, while their back is leaning or resting at an angle that is tilted backward. This position is often adopted for comfort and relaxation, allowing one to rest while reducing strain on the back and neck.

    The term reclined can also be used to describe objects or furniture that are designed to allow a person to adopt such a position. Reclined seats or recliners, for example, are chairs or sofas that can be adjusted to incline the backrest, providing support and comfort for the person sitting or laying down.

    In a broader context, "reclined" can also refer to the act of leaning or slanting backward, beyond the normal upright position. It can describe the tilting or angling of objects, such as a reclined headrest in a car seat.

    Overall, the term "reclined" conveys the idea of a comfortable and relaxed position where one's body leans or rests backward, either by choice or with the help of suitable furniture or supports.
