Hello everyone. I'm trying to understand this line from the script of the movie "A beautiful mind" with Russel Crowe, directed by Ron Howard in 2001: "
Which is more likely, that your husband, a mathematician with no military training, is a government spy feeling the Russians...Or that he has lost his grip on reality?"
What “feel” means in this sentence? Does it mean "feel out", as "to try to get information from someone or from a situation without asking direct questions"?
Here's the link to the Cambridge dictionary feel someone/something out
Is it right in the link I posted, or is there some more informal/colloquial explanation to it? Thank you all in advance for your attention, and have a good day (and a good 2022)
