Tính từ[C] Đếm được

Số nhiều: hinds

When used as an adjective, this word carries a clinical or anatomical precision. It is the standard term for animal anatomy, creating a clear distinction between the front and rear halves of a creature's body without the casualness of the word back. As a noun, the word shifts from a biological descriptor to a specific identity. In the context of wildlife, it evokes an image of grace and maternal protection. In its archaic human sense, it denotes a rigid social hierarchy, reflecting a time when laborers were defined by their subservience to the land.

Countable when referring to individual laborers.
