How it's used

Describes a process or influence that happens gradually without being explicitly noticed or felt by the people involved. It is often used to explain how habits form or how someone's behavior changes over time due to external circumstances. Unlike direct actions, this implies a subtle, indirect effect that only becomes apparent in hindsight.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with physical invisibility. It refers to abstract, intangible processes or psychological shifts, not things that are literally hidden from sight.
