Số nhiều: tunnelsQuá khứ: tunneledPhân từ 2: tunneledV-ing: tunneling

The word evokes a sense of enclosure and transition, focusing on the movement from one point to another through a restricted, dark, or hidden space. It carries a strong association with engineering, secrecy, and the physical sensation of being shielded from the surface world. In a psychological or metaphorical sense, it describes a narrowing of focus where everything else disappears except for a single goal or exit. This creates a feeling of intensity or desperation, as seen when someone describes a state of extreme concentration or a feeling of being trapped with only one way out.

Countable when referring to the physical structures built for transport or drainage, such as three tunnels under the river.
