undertow

1. A tendency, especially in thought or feeling, contrary to what seems the strongest: "As she talks nostalgically of her days of glory . . . a poignant undertow emerges” ( Tina Brown).

2. An underwater current flowing strongly away from the shore, usually caused by the seaward return of water from waves that have broken against the shore.

3. The current beneath the surface that sets seaward or along the beach when waves are breaking upon the shore.

4. An current, force, or tendency that is in opposition to what is apparent.
