Round 3, let's see what Princeton University has to say about the word "Ambush" in WordNet.


The noun "ambush" has 1 sense in WordNet.

1. ambush, ambuscade, lying in wait, trap -- (the act of concealing yourself and lying in wait to attack by surprise)

The verb "ambush" has 2 senses in WordNet.

1. ambush, scupper, bushwhack, waylay, lurk, ambuscade, lie in wait -- (wait in hiding to attack)
2. still-hunt, ambush -- (hunt (quarry) by stalking and ambushing)

Again, always the mention of hiding, laying in wait and attacking by "surprise".
