EN: to cower; to cringe; to curl up
The feeling when your crush sees your baby pictures on Facebook. Or your physical reaction when watching a horror movie, trying to become one with the sofa. It’s that involuntary cringe and curl-up motion from fear, embarrassment, or extreme cold.
A very descriptive but rarely used word. It vividly paints a picture of shrinking in on oneself.
