hiding
When referring to physical punishment, this term is primarily British in origin and carries a colloquial, slightly dated tone. It suggests a corrective beating, often administered by a parent or authority figure, and is distinct from the act of concealment.
As a gerund or adjective, the word describes the state of being out of sight. While it is often used as a participle (e.g., "the hiding cat"), it functions as a noun when referring to the general activity of concealment. In the context of punishment, the word is countable, allowing for phrases like "a hiding" or "several hidings."
