dent
Shallow metal hollow
A dent is a depression in a surface caused by impact or pressure: The shopping cart left a dent in my car door.
To dent is to create such a mark.
Figuratively, to make a dent in something is to make noticeable progress: We barely made a dent in the workload.
To dent someone's confidence or pride is to diminish it.
