Gaze

/ˈgāz/

Gaze is to look steadily and intently. The synonyms are to stare and look, but not to avoid and look away.

Word Background

Imagine staring out a window, lost in thought. Your eyes are fixed on something in the distance, maybe a tree or a cloud. That’s called gazing.

Gazing is when you look at something for a long time, without blinking or moving your head much. It’s like your eyes are glued to one spot. You might gaze at a beautiful sunset, a fascinating painting, or even just a blank wall when you’re daydreaming. It’s a way of focusing your attention and losing yourself in the moment.

Example Sentence
