narrowOpening

A narrow opening refers to a passage or aperture that is significantly smaller in width than might be expected or typically encountered. This can be a physical characteristic of a structure, a natural formation, or even a metaphorical situation. In architecture and engineering, narrow openings are often designed for specific purposes such as security, controlling access, or to fit within a particular design aesthetic. For example, a narrow doorway might be used in a defensive structure or a medieval castle. In natural landscapes, narrow openings can be found in canyons, rock formations, or between dense foliage, often formed by geological processes or erosion. The term can also be applied to situations where opportunities or choices are limited, creating a sense of restricted access or difficulty in navigating a situation. The perception of an opening as "narrow" is relative and depends on the context and the size of the subject or entity attempting to pass through it.
