Số nhiều: behinds

This word carries a strong spatial orientation of occlusion and concealment. When something is behind another, it is often hidden from view or relegated to a secondary position of importance. It suggests a lack of visibility or a state of being followed. In a temporal or professional sense, it evokes a feeling of pressure or failure. Being behind creates a psychological gap between where a person is and where they are expected to be, contrasting sharply with being ahead, which implies leadership or success.

Countable when referring to a person's posterior (a behind). Uncountable when referring to the general area of the rear.
