Definition
Plural of bottleneck; narrow points where a process slows down, or literal narrow necks of bottles.
Etymology
Compound from 'bottle' and 'neck,' the narrow part of a bottle. The metaphorical use (a point of congestion or slowdown) emerged in the 20th century from manufacturing and logistics terminology.
Kelly Says
The word 'bottleneck' perfectly captures why it slows things down—if you need to pour 1,000 gallons through a narrow opening, the opening becomes the limiting factor, not the size of the container, which is why supply chain managers obsess over identifying bottlenecks.
