The word "vent" can refer to a physical opening that allows air, gas, or liquid to escape from a confined space—such as a heating duct or clothes dryer exhaust—or it can refer to the psychological act of expressing strong, pent-up emotions. As an emotional release, venting means voicing your frustrations, anger, or worries out loud to relieve internal pressure. Across all definitions, the underlying concept involves creating an outlet for something trapped or compressed—whether it is air pressure in a plumbing system or emotional tension in human communication.
