the.com/bunker
the architecture of distrust, poured in concrete and buried where optimism can't reach.
means A reinforced underground shelter built to withstand attack or disaster — or, on a golf course, a sand-filled hollow hazard.
from From Scots 'bunker,' originally a seat or bench, possibly a chest-like storage box. By the 19th century Scottish golf had borrowed it for the sandy hollows that swallow wayward balls, and from there it dug deeper into ships' coal-storage 'bunkers,' then into the military fortifications of the 20th century — each sense burrowing further down, until the word finally meant a hole you hide in rather than one you merely sit on.
