Homonym: trap (Snare)
A "trap" is a device or method used to catch or hold something, often animals. For example, a mouse trap is designed to capture mice that invade homes. Traps can be simple, like a box that closes when the mouse enters, or more complex, using bait to lure the animal in.
In a broader sense, a "trap" can also refer to a situation where someone feels stuck or unable to escape. For instance, a person might feel trapped in a job they dislike. This feeling can be overwhelming, much like being caught in a physical trap.
