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.”
