Số nhiều: gazesPhân từ 2: gazedV-ing: gazing

This word conveys a sense of stillness and duration. While looking is a general action and staring can feel aggressive or rude, gazing suggests a dreamy, romantic, or contemplative state. It often implies that the observer is captivated by what they see or is lost in their own thoughts while looking. In a social context, it is frequently used to describe an emotional connection or a state of awe. It is common in literary descriptions to establish a mood of longing or deep reflection, moving beyond simple sight into the realm of psychological absorption.

Countable when referring to a specific instance of looking, such as a piercing gaze. Uncountable when referring to the general act of looking steadily.
