Số nhiều: cowsQuá khứ: cowedPhân từ 2: cowedV-ing: cowing

As a noun, the word carries a heavy association with domesticity, motherhood, and rural stability. It is often used as a symbol of gentleness or stupidity in folklore, though in a modern agricultural context, it is a neutral technical term for livestock. As a verb, the word shifts into a psychological space of power and dominance. It describes the act of breaking someone's will through fear. This usage is more common in formal writing or political commentary than in casual conversation, where words like intimidate or scare would be more frequent.

Countable when referring to the individual animals on a farm. Uncountable when referring to beef as a type of meat in specific regional dialects, though usually referred to as beef.
