An opening is a hole or gap that lets things pass through, or the beginning part of something like a book, speech, or event.
Formed from the verb “open” plus the noun-forming ending “-ing.” It originally meant the action of opening and then also came to mean the result, such as a gap or a first part.
In stories and movies, the ‘opening’ is so powerful that people will judge the whole thing in seconds. Your brain uses the first tiny ‘opening’ of information to predict what kind of world you’ve just stepped into.
