Hollow

Quick Detail: Hollow describes something empty within, often creating echoes or an eerie sense of depth.

Definition: Hollow describes something that carries emptiness at its core—an abandoned tree, a quiet valley, or a voice with a strangely echoing tone. The word suggests vacancy but not silence; even the smallest sound can travel farther than expected. Hollows often feel older than their surroundings, as though time settles differently inside them. Their emptiness invites curiosity, caution, or both. The term rests between stillness and mystery, hinting that absence can be just as powerful as presence.
