1. to slip into; to sneak into; to steal into
To enter a place stealthily, often by passing through an opening or gap. Combines the idea of slipping through (抜ける) with entering deeply (込む).

I slipped in through the back entrance.
A cat sneaked into the garden through a gap in the hedge.
It's difficult to sneak into the building while evading the guards.

A compound verb from 抜(ぬ)ける (to slip through, to pass through) + 込(こ)む (to go into, to enter deeply). The 込(こ)む auxiliary adds the sense of entering or penetrating into a space. Intransitive verb -- the subject moves stealthily into a place.

Transitivity: intransitive
