Bunker
A bunker is a fortified shelter, typically underground, designed for protection against bombs or attack: The soldiers retreated to the bunker.
In golf, a bunker is a sand-filled hazard on the course.
To bunker down (or hunker down) is to take shelter or dig in for a prolonged period.
A bunker mentality describes defensive, siege-like thinking—the feeling of being surrounded by threats.
