deep/hidden undercurrent Explanation: deep undercurrent /concealed undercurrent Explanation: I'm not sure about your context, but here's a Merriam-Webster International definition of 'undercurrent': Main Entry:1undercurrent Pronunciation:****** Function:noun Etymology:3under + current 1 : a current below the upper currents or surface of a fluid body (as water or air) 2 : a tendency of opinion or feeling not openly displayed and often contrary to the one publicly shown *an undercurrent in favor of the accused had set in* I also thought of 'riptide' or 'rip current', but rejected the idea because it's on the surface. It pulls swimmers out into the ocean. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-11-14 02:20:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In your context, to avoid saying 'under' twice, you could go with: 'this hidden undercurrent that runs deep beneath the surface' |
