frog

Số nhiều: frogsQuá khứ: froggedPhân từ 2: froggedV-ing: frogging

The word evokes a sense of sudden, explosive movement and a dual existence between land and water. It carries a playful, often whimsical connotation in folklore and children's stories, though in a biological context, it represents a key indicator of environmental health. In technical contexts, the term shifts from biology to mechanics, referring to a gripping or anchoring point. This usage relies on the image of a frog's powerful grip or the shape of the animal's body to describe a physical fastener.

Countable when referring to the individual animals or the mechanical fasteners. Uncountable when referring to the meat of the animal as a food source.
