STRANGLING Meaning and Definition

1. Strangling is a verb that refers to the act of causing death or hindering one's breathing by applying strong pressure to the throat or neck. It involves the act of constricting or compressing the windpipe or blood vessels in the neck, resulting in the interruption of normal breathing and blood circulation. This forceful restriction can lead to asphyxiation or suffocation, ultimately causing death if not released in time.

   Strangling can be performed by various methods, including using one's hands, a ligature, or any object that can effectively apply pressure on the neck. It is often considered a violent and malicious act, commonly associated with criminal activities such as murder or assault. The intention behind strangling can vary, ranging from causing harm, exerting control, or in extreme cases, attempting to take someone's life.

   In a broader sense, strangling can also be used to describe the action of stifling or suppressing something, such as ideas, creativity, or opportunities. It implies the act of limiting or hindering growth, development, or freedom by exerting restrictive measures. This metaphorical usage of the term relates to the physical act of strangling, illustrating the suppression or obstruction of something's natural course or expression.

2. Death by compressing the throat.
