Answer

SNIPE

This word has dual meanings: it refers to a wading bird with a long bill found in marshes and wetlands, known for its elusive nature and camouflaged plumage. The word also serves as a verb meaning to shoot at someone from a concealed position, often used in military contexts. The term for this type of shooting originated from hunting these difficult to target birds.

Strategy Tip
