What does HEAVE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To lift, pull, or throw something heavy with great effort, or to rise and fall in a slow, rhythmic motion.
Sailors heave a rope or heave up an anchor by hauling on it with coordinated force, and the same word describes any strained lifting, as when movers heave a couch up a staircase. Beyond physical effort, a chest can heave with sobs or hard breathing, and the sea itself is said to heave in long, rolling swells. A related noun use names the visible act itself, as in a single mighty heave.
How HEAVE is used
Common in both physical descriptions of lifting or throwing and in figurative descriptions of rising and falling motion.
- The sailors heaved the anchor chain hand over hand.
- His shoulders heaved with silent laughter.
- She heaved the heavy suitcase onto the top shelf.
- The ship heaved violently in the rough swell.
