narrows

a narrow stretch of water, such as a strait or a channel, connecting two larger bodies of water / a part of a river or stream that becomes significantly thinner or more constricted
Noun

This term is used almost exclusively in the plural form to describe a specific geographical feature. Even when referring to a single constricted passage of water, the plural "narrows" is employed, making it a plural-only noun in this semantic context.

In maritime and geographical discourse, the word carries a connotation of strategic importance or navigational danger. It suggests a bottleneck where water flow increases in velocity and maneuvering space for vessels is severely limited, contrasting with the open expanse of the larger bodies of water it connects.
