[Move] Stealthily

Stealth is an invisibility cloak, or camouflage, quiet movement, or disappearing into a crowd. It’s flying under the radar, whether physically, figuratively, emotionally or socially. Sometimes, it’s simply a matter of being still when prying eyes seek movement.

Stealth is the stuff of spies, war and games, of business and politics. Stealth is for the secretive, and those who would uncover secrets.

Prowl

There is nothing aimless about a big cat on the prowl.

Imminent lethal intent. Focused. Targeted. Stealthy.

Although I understand completely why the various ways we use prowl made the list of roam synonyms, the word’s essential meaning makes it an antonym to every synonym since linger.

Prowl is a word with purpose, weapons locked. A black panther in the darkness, preparing to pounce.
