What is an "underdog"?

An underdog is a person or team in a competition that is expected to lose or is considered less likely to win.

Despite these odds, underdogs can sometimes surprise others by achieving unexpected success or victories. The term "underdog" is often used to highlight the struggle or perseverance of someone trying to overcome challenges in the pursuit of success.
