Số nhiều: flocksQuá khứ: flockedPhân từ 2: flockedV-ing: flocking

This word evokes a sense of instinctive, collective movement. It suggests a lack of individual agency, where the group moves as a single organic unit driven by a shared impulse or a leader. There is a strong association with innocence or vulnerability, particularly when applied to sheep. In social contexts, using this word often implies a lack of critical thinking or a tendency to follow trends blindly. It carries a subtle connotation of mindless conformity, contrasting with words like gather or assemble, which suggest more intentional or organized meetings.

Countable when referring to a specific group of animals (a flock of sheep). Uncountable when referring to the general concept of a congregation or a religious assembly.
