Số nhiều: breachesQuá khứ: breachedPhân từ 2: breachedV-ing: breaching

This term carries a heavy sense of violation and failure. It suggests a protective boundary, whether physical or legal, that has been compromised, leaving the interior vulnerable to attack or exploitation. There is a feeling of suddenness or critical failure associated with the word. In modern technical contexts, it specifically evokes the image of a secure digital perimeter being pierced, as in a data breach. This differs from a simple mistake or error, as a breach implies a specific point of entry or a definitive rupture of a formal agreement.

Countable when referring to a physical gap in a wall or a specific instance of a broken rule. Uncountable when referring to the general state of being in violation of a treaty.
