to feel
Experience through touch
To feel is to perceive through touch or sensation: Feel how soft this fabric is.
It extends to internal states—physical (I feel sick) or emotional (I feel happy).
To feel a certain way about something is to hold an opinion: I feel we should wait.
Feel also means to seem: It feels like rain.
To feel for someone is to sympathize; to feel out a situation is to assess it cautiously.
A feel is a quality perceived through touch (the feel of leather) or an intuitive sense (a feel for the game).
