Answer: what comes to mind when we hear the word "Friction" ?

Basically friction is a "Force" that opposes an intend(ing) motion.

Step-by-step explanation:

By motion I mean movement.

By force I mean a body that carries with it energy.

So to understand this better, just see it as a force(thing) that prevents or stops you from taking action.
