Semantic narrowing is a process in language where a word's meaning becomes more specific over time. This occurs when a word that once had a broad meaning gradually comes to refer to a narrower set of concepts or objects. For example, the word "meat" used to refer to any type of food, but now it specifically refers to animal flesh. Semantic narrowing helps linguists understand how language evolves and how meanings can change based on cultural and social influences.
