Crouched<\/strong> is a term that can come from verb<\/strong> grab<\/strong>: remain on the lookout, be on the alert, or wait to surprise someone. In this way, whoever is crouching finds himself watching another subject and is ready to act<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Crouched\"For example: \"Investigators believe that the murderer waited crouched for his victim, hidden in the vegetation\"<\/em>, \"When a lion is crouched, it is because it is waiting for a prey to attack\"<\/em>, \"Crouching behind the fence, the young man did time until they allowed him to enter the property\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Usually the person<\/strong> who is crouching does not want to be seen<\/strong>. Your intention is to surprise someone with some goal. If he is a criminal, by crouching he pretends to be able to carry out an attack without being seen and, thus, not meet the resistance of the victim. Suppose a woman is inserting the key into the door of her house when suddenly a thief jumps from behind a flowerpot and pounces on her. Being crouched, the offender took advantage of the surprise factor and found his victim defenseless.<\/p>\n

The animals<\/strong> they also tend to crouch down to hunt<\/strong>. A leopard may crouch down waiting for a deer to feed. When he discovers that one of these animals is inattentive, he proceeds to catch it.<\/p>\n

The dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy<\/strong> (RAE<\/strong>), on the other hand, mentions that, in Costa Rica<\/strong>, agazapado is an adjective that can be used as a synonym for hypocrite<\/strong> (term that qualifies someone who pretends to feel something that, in reality, they do not feel).<\/p>\n

Within the field of culture we find different works that use the term in question in their titles. This would be the case, for example, of the book \u201cA Crouching Man\u201d, by OC Tavin, or the novel \u201cThe Wild Horse Crouching Under the Stove\u201d. This last book is a work of the author Christoph Hein. <\/p>\n

In the same way, we cannot ignore the existence of a well-known film that uses the same adjective in its title. We are referring to \u201cCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\u201d, which in Spain was promoted as \u201cTiger & Dragon\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is a film by director Ang Lee, released in 2000 and which is the homonymous film adaptation of the fourth novel in the series \"Iron Pentalogy\" by writer Wang Dulu. <\/p>\n

In the same way, we cannot ignore that crouching is also a term that is used within the sports field. Specifically, they often talk about squat soccer. This is used to refer to the game system carried out by teams that are especially strong in defense and that are waiting for any mistake or mistake from their rival to carry out a powerful counterattack that could end in a goal. <\/p>\n

In addition, also within the football sector, the aforementioned expression is used to refer to the teams that seem to be waiting for their most direct rivals in the fight for a championship to make a mistake to take advantage of the situation and get ahead of them in the classification.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
