The meaning of sentinel
Hey everyone!Does " sentinel " mean tree?
I read it in a novel but it doesn't mean "guard" (in this context).
*******Could you write the sentence where you found it?
There is no tree called a sentinel but it might mean that the tree in the book is large or stands in front of something acting like a "guard".

OK.....yes....the person is pressing his face against the tree (we know this because of the sap which is the sticky liquid that sometimes comes out of some trees).
So in this case.....the tree is like a guard, watching or protecting something. It might be a very large tree and very formidable.
I hope this explanation helps you.
