抱吃 (bào chī) is a Chinese go term that refers to an elementary capturing technique by atari, such as here. It is very similar to a shunt.

For this term, 吃 (chī) means "eat". 抱 (bào), can be roughly understood as "to surround using arms", such as a "hug" or "embrace". Try to picture the Black stones as part of the body of a person and as an arm extending to "hug" the White person, preventing White from escaping.

If tries to escape, then completes the surrounding by "hugging", and captures the White stones.
