TRAPPED Meaning and Definition

1. Trapped is an adjective that describes the state of being confined or restrained, typically against one's will or without the ability to easily escape. It is often used to portray a situation or condition where a person, animal, or object is held captive, confined, or restricted from moving freely. The term implies a sense of being stuck, helpless, or enclosed, lacking the necessary means or freedom to escape or find a way out.

   In a physical context, being trapped can refer to being caught or confined within a space, such as being trapped in a collapsed building, a small room, or a vehicle. It can also pertain to being ensnared or caught, as in being trapped in a net or in the jaws of a predator.

   Trapped can also describe a psychological or emotional state, where a person feels confined or constrained by their circumstances, responsibilities, or personal struggles. This can manifest as feeling trapped in a toxic relationship, a dead-end job, or a cycle of negative thoughts and emotions.

   Overall, the term trapped denotes a sense of being captive, restricted, or limited in movement, either physically, emotionally, or mentally. It captures the feeling of being confined against one's will, with little or no means to escape or break free from the situation or condition.
