To stretch oneself out, lie down, or crouch, especially in a recumbent posture as of an animal. The verb denotes the act of lying (often on the ground) for rest, sleep, or quiet, and is frequently used for animals lying in their natural manner, but also for people and metaphorically for land or objects. It can also convey the sense of taking a position of repose, dwelling, or even lurking (contextually rare). The verbal action may indicate restfulness, security, or waiting, often drawing on agricultural or pastoral imagery.
