Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai

Số nhiều: spearsQuá khứ: spearedPhân từ 2: spearedV-ing: spearing

This word carries a primal, aggressive energy associated with hunting and ancient warfare. It evokes a sense of linear, piercing force and precision. While modern contexts might involve sport fishing, the primary mental image remains one of a primitive, lethal tool designed for distance and impact. Compared to a knife or a sword, a spear suggests a reach that keeps the attacker at a distance. It is rarely used in a positive or gentle sense, typically appearing in contexts of survival, combat, or targeted predation.

Countable when referring to the physical weapon itself. Uncountable when referring to the general practice of spearing as a method of hunting.
