深度学习

cleave (KLEEV) Interestingly, this verb has two opposite meanings. On the one hand, it means “to split” or “to cut” or “penetrate.” The noun form is “cleft,” and the past tense is “clove.” On the other hand, it means “to stick to” or “to be faithful to.” In this case, the past tense is “cleaved.”

• Iago put a cleft in Othello’s relationship with Desdemona by convincing the jealous Moor that she was engaging in an extramarital affair.
• As the hurricane grew more forceful, blowing over trees and knocking down power lines, the children in the tall apartment building cleaved to their mother and cried out in terror.
