heel

Số nhiều: heelsQuá khứ: heeledPhân từ 2: heeledV-ing: heeling

The word evokes a sense of the lowest or outermost point of a structure. Whether it is the base of a foot, the end of a loaf, or the back of a shoe, it represents a boundary or a support point. When applied to a person, the term shifts from a physical location to a moral judgment. Calling someone a heel suggests they are low-life or lacking in integrity, mirroring the physical position of the heel as the bottom-most part of the body.

Countable when referring to a specific body part, a shoe component, or a despicable person. Uncountable when referring to the general concept of the rear part of a loaf of bread.
