harboured
Held secretly within
Harboured is the British spelling of harbored, the past tense of harbour.
To harbour something is to give it shelter or refuge—a port harbours ships, a person harbours fugitives.
The word extends to holding something internally: She harboured doubts about the plan, He harboured resentment for years.
What you harbour, you keep protected and hidden.
