extension

Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai
Số nhiều: extensions

This word carries a sense of stretching or expanding existing boundaries rather than creating something entirely new. It implies a continuation of an original state, whether that be a period of time, a physical structure, or a digital tool. It is generally neutral but often carries a positive connotation of flexibility or added value. In professional environments, the term is heavily associated with grace periods and deadlines, evoking a feeling of relief or temporary reprieve. In technical contexts, it shifts toward modularity, where an extension is a plug-in that enhances a core system without altering the base architecture.

Countable when referring to a specific addition, such as a home extension or a phone extension. Uncountable when referring to the general act of lengthening something, like the extension of a deadline.
